braided moon prints
in the north woods night
the stillness of deer

lady bugs
loose in the greenhouse
hot peppers

black ink on her thumb
the freelancer's
blotted safety net

a warming oven
black bananas
in the yellow bowl

swaying for the baby
hushed voices
and the first rain

a striped towel
over rising bread
the moon's transit
