spring gathering
the scrape of spurs
beneath the table

darkness
beyond the porch light
the chatter of coyotes

the fedor
of overripe figs
heavy rain

a glimmer
on the sharpened ulu
hunter's moon

double dipping
the kayaker’s paddle
in the evening sun

winter twilight
the old cowboy shines
his silver buckle
