May 3: Fog bank

night classes

above the fog bank

starless sky

October 31: Halloween

Halloween party.

Long walk home after dark

lit by a spectral moon.

July 6: Summer night

Watching the light fade.

Fingers stained red

from eating strawberries.

Moths in headlights.

Falling asleep

on the drive home.

October 8: In tune

Long drive alone in the dark,

all my heartaches

on the damn radio.

July 18: Squid fishing

jigging for squid

in the foggy harbor at night,

flashlight a false moon

February 12: Crescent moon

Bitter cold evening--

just a quick look at the moon

in her misty scarf.

November 12: Driving home in fog

Sweep of the airport light

all bright then all dark

late night conversation

August 29: Mountain nocturne

No moon tonight: clouds.

No owl: crickets.

Mountains, fields: a seamless dark.

August 18: Night music

Crickets so loud

I can't hear myself think,

can only close my eyes.

July 29: Night fog

Under the misty moon

fog-shrouded island

is a beautiful ghost.

June 16: Fireflies

Misty back roads at night,

fireflies flickering past.

This.

June 3: Last night

headlights sweep the neighbor's house

a man walks past again

I pull the shades

April 20: Driving / Rain

Driving rain, midnight,

the highway a black river

we struggle upstream.

December 30: Nocturne

How bright the one star

visible before dawn

out the bathroom window.

December 21: Starry night

Winter Solstice--

Orion on the horizon;

many candles shine too.

December 18: Under Jupiter's bright watch

Driving home late--
what looks like animal's eyes
turns into a beer can.

December 6: Dark

Dystopic movie--

we leave the dark theatre,

enter night's long tunnel.

November 17: Don't we all ponder our mortality?

Darkness at 5 pm--
thinking of ducks at roost,
cold, dark water.

November 14: Owl kind of night

Light snowfall, falling dark.
I drive toward the Big Dipper
expecting owls.
