melting snow
the distance between
someone else's steps

new catkins–
a moose's behind
at the edge of the willows

childhood home
the pussy willow
just as it is

my tears come
then the sound
spring rain

goose flight–
my gossipy neighbour
speechless

snowmelt–
beaver dam swept
to the river's edge

early spring
her hand-painted robin
in my mailbox

house for sale
a bluetit tries out
all the nest boxes

May Day–
bees collecting nectar
from wilted azaleas

moonlit garden–
the asparagus
overcooked again
