September 19: Focus

Morning meditation:

trying to find the green bird

among the leaves.

August 16: Vireo

No more singing.

The vireo too protests

summer's wane.

June 21: 6 a.m.

Falling back asleep.

Red-eyed vireo chanting

his morning mantra.

August 19: Late season

No more birdsong

up on the mountain,

just one whining vireo.

June 18: Dawnsong

Wakened by cat at dawn

I let the vireo

lull me back to sleep.

June 3: Acadia Birding Festival

Pointing out a vireo.

Trying to keep you

out of my head.

 

Seal Cove, Mount Desert Island

swimming kids now quiet

across the ruffled pond

vireo singing

June 6: Reading a book on the back porch, trying to relax

vireo, over and over,

trying to tell me something

something I'd forgotten

Vireo singing

his usual summer song

while I mow the lawn.

July 16: Dog Days

Behind the fan's hum

vireo singing

all day long.
