Some last golden leaves

scattered amid the greenery

of our Christmas wreath.

Pouring rain outside.

We stand around a big snowplow

imagining...

Reading for hours

with the cat asleep on my arm.

We need each other.

In the dark between

hungry owl hunting.

Across the lake

drifting shapes of ducks

Star's lit on the mountain.

Holiday baking--

channeling my grandmother,

her sugar cookies.

November 22: Stone heart

Beach-combing for hearts--
when picked up and pocketed
some become just stones.

November 21: Flyover

Chatting with a friend

on the sidewalk. Raven too

has something to say.

Rainy morning--

digging out my grandmother's

turkey cookie cutters.

Watching the tide rise

as we walk the breakwater

full of words unsaid.

November 18: Unspoken narrative

Crow missing tail feathers.

A woman's story

she'll never tell a soul.

November 17: Gardens Aglow!

After sunset's flare,

holding court above the lights--

supernal Venus.

November 16: Fallen tree

After the tree falls
chickadees return to perch,
a new perspective.

November 15: Flock

Crows scatter from a bare tree
like so many black leaves,
wistful thoughts.

November 14: Full heart

You're still not home.

Full moon over Mount Battie

a night sky null set.

everyone in the parking lot

holding up their phone.

Tonight

Awakened by wind.

A path lain by moonlight

leads me to the bathroom.

November 11: Low tide

Low tide on the Passy.

I mistake wind-blown leaves

for lingering shorebirds.

November 10: Stone wall

Old stone wall--
ghost of a lost farm
still wanders the woods.

November 9: Day after

Taking down

my political signs

by the light of the moon.

Winter moths at the porch light.

Shining through the weeping willow

waxing half moon.

Day before election.
Watching robins eat berries

Uneasy dreams.

Falling leaves' small thuds

against the bedroom window.

Memorial service.

Tamarack needles

have all turned gold.

November 4: Late harvest

Indoor farmer's market--

piles of squash and pumpkins,

bouquet of rose hips.

November 3: "Chopped"

Darkness falls so early.

I binge for hours on Food

Network cooking shows.

strange cat in the yard

seems transfixed by the maple

the power of gold

November 1: Mood

late afternoon light

bronze of roadside oaks

crows the last birds flying
