Sand and berries, hawk and toad songs

The tiny river

-if it is a river-

will soon live


under the sand.

By Friday I think.

Saturday at the latest.


Now I know

where the robins go

for the winter!


To get fat eating

a plenitude

of berries.


Yesterday’s wind

died before dawn.


The red-tails cried

to each other in the oaks

as day barely broke.


Mt Kuchumaa harbors

ephemeral pools.

Where I heard

the lone song of a toad.


The robins are back eating lunch

in the tree outside the window.

Singing. And no, they aren't drunk.
