Part 1: Strong and exhausted wings
A Glaucous Gull following: letters exchanged with Pablo Neruda
Archaeopteryx learned to fly somehow
A Belted Kingfisher on Depot Brook
Dreaming of a tanager migrating
A Least Flycatcher holding some iridescence
Loon Woman
Luna Moth
How to see a Winter Wren
Wish you were here postcard
A feral apple tree running
December rain; a writer’s block
Dream Sounds
A Rocky Mountain Monkeyflower blooming
Near the stone cellar hole
Part 2: Breathing as the water roils
Winter Lightning
The dark streaming
Black snow
Drifting toward death
Making apple butter with Emily Shepard
A night’s swim
Brightness
A still life
Diverging from symmetry
Arriving home
Ballard Locks
In the Silver Peso Bar
Part 3: Inheritance discovered and left adrift
The sign of cattails
Sublimating the seasons
Winter fog and brittle noises
Dark dreams
Tree and landscape, almost in black and white
The universe observed
Postcard from Glimpse Lake
Found Backstage at the Metropolitan Opera
