white dew overflows the buttercups

somewhere
there's an earthworm
firmly in the grip
of a sparrow's beak

whispering in the wind

there's the hoot

my neighbor’s grass
doesn’t look any greener
just better mowed

what if
the pathetic fallacy
isn’t a fallacy
after all

what if the marsh grass
feels the same way I do
about sunset

what if the crickets
are full of longing
for the moon

a sympathetic current
runs through
the living world

October’s moon rises soft and low in the sky’s pastel marsh where we stand amidst the green gold grass

downed but not out
wandering in afterlife

Hiking in the forest, there is a little moss this time of year! I like the ridiculous complexity of this downed, overgrown tree.

Outside the patterns
Align in equilibrium
Inside genes recombine
In random pursuit
Of adaptive neologism

Outside, patterns align in perfect equilibrium. Inside, stories bloom in a random rhythm.
Photo by Kozymeii Kong. A black-and-white photograph of a high-rise apartment building, showing repeating rows of balconies and windows. Two vertical dark panels break the symmetry, creating contrast against the bright white facade. The composition emphasizes order, rhythm, and the geometric balance of urban architecture.

how about this #tanka version:

a splinter of light
widens to the crack of dawn
from which each day breaks
open in swift succession
taking full possession
of an awakening soul

During my two week visit to Ireland, I got one clear night for astrophotography. A single 20 second shot using a Canon R6 and Sigma 14mm, f/1.8 lens. This is the Screeb fishing hut in Connemara, Ireland.

The Milky Way stretches high above a small fishing hut with canoe on still reflecting water, Connemara, Ireland.
