after mother passes

barefeet on oak floor
follow a creak to the door
full moon waits outside

°°°

green tea in the dark
the scent of the steam reaching
unseen for the stars

°°°

a brown bat dancing
between rough stars and smooth lake
– bites a mosquito

°°°

canada goose snores
in the thorny underbrush —
or perhaps a skunk?
