only the weeds
listening
to my lament

forming an orderly queue

sparrows

at the birdbath

hot
  spring
    harvest
      moon
         beam

leaving my dinosaur

of prejudices

in the Jurassic parking lot

the insistence
of
wood pigeons

Liminality - Sequence with Erin Castaldi

eagle cry
jolts me out of
spring fog
****

from the undergrowth
the year begins
croaking
****

old bog

the black beaks

of Tundra swans

****

snowmelt
losing its grip
on the mountain
****

daylilies

the last time I

dreamt in color

****

fading light
the last bee
hurries home

Sürüp giden

Olası fırtına

the sun

leaving her smile

on a stone

dusk chorus
all the birds
sundowning

springtime
gradually disappearing
my neighbours

a butterfly
puzzled
by a pane of glass

a woodpecker
but not
where I was looking

my electric toothbrush
humming a tune
for me

an oblivious bee
zig-zagging
between headstones

overcast
a patch of blue
races across the sky

winter's death throes
birch blossom
shivering
