with the river back in its bed
we return the left behind mud
to the waters, aware of the risk
of unwanted gifts

Day 53, 2023
home from the river
listening to a short burst
all rumble and fast heavy rain
preceded by a wind gust
all bluster and alarms from the airport
eyes closed, the floorboards move
under foot: moored in the storm
Day 43, 2023
Cold sun, you are welcome
this Sunday morning on the wharf
the water winter calm yet choppy
colors alternating between
faded jade and pure azul
growing like a wheat field
out of the rich black night currents
air bright with a kiss of light
like in her eyes at this morning’s parting
