December 15: December sunrise

Spent the day birding the beaches, salt marshes, and nearby neighborhoods of Ogunquit and Wells for the York County Christmas Bird Count. We began the day with a beautiful sunrise over the ocean at Moody Point, where dozens of sandpipers twinkled at the edge of the chilly surf...

 

Sunrise over the beach--

at the sandy edge

one frozen raspberry.

December 14: Sunday in a small town

While we watch the game

neighbor knocks to ask

whose chickens in her yard.

December 13: Hazy shade of winter

Snowing in the pass--
in the old horse pasture
turkeys forage, unfazed.

December 12: Revelation

Morning, parting clouds--
only the highest ridgeline
covered now with snow

December 11: Girls' night out

How do sharks mate?

Women talking together

on a rainy night.

December 10: Dreaming

Such strange and vivid dreams last night. I woke thinking of Jung and his theories about the interpretation of dreams, what dreams about walking around in a house mean...

 

Asleep in my cocoon

I dreamt of a new house.

My soul, awake, wanders.

December 9: Torrents

A hard rain--

the sky falls with conviction,

soaks through to my skin.
