Earth’s bronze shadow falls
Reveals truth to human eyes
As God tips His hand
Lunar eclipse as seen from my house last year, Jan 2018
Kate Rauner

Not going up there – nope – not going
Branches sway and bounce
Cold and harsh are winter winds
One lone bird blows by

Silver sky at dawn
Hammered on the fierce anvil
Of a stormy night

Smoke from summer fires
Flows thick down dry arroyos
Ghost of rivers lost

In my yard
Agave flowers
Lift their blooms above the trees
Reaching for the sun

First roly poly
Creeps from the thawing compost
A true sign of spring

Pill bugs, roly polies or doodle bugs – much nicer names than woodlouse
