images lately

the week has been deliciously busy

 branches wove across the sky

there was little rain

 a moon waxing

but from my belly

yes, on the side of the road!

she looked odd

grandmother maple's ochre

 and garden hosta

harvested for paper

 this colorful watcher

brought down for a cleaning

 stitching on golden milkweed paper

 one of many bundles

 this, too.

paper peeled off silk

sumac fruit clinging by

furry fingers

and this: aimee's book.

i had the huge privilege

of being an early reader

and now you can buy it.

it's very, very fine.
