Last Lune.
Harvester passes, buzzards
wheel over the stubbled cornfield,
waiting for death.

Daily poem: Lune 29
Earth bakes, clay,
dry, rock-hard, where snakes bask,
crisp grass underfoot.
Daily poem: Lune 28
Thrushsong billows, heat
ripples, ripe heads of barley,
crickets trill lulling.
Daily poem: Lune 27
Mowing today. First the buzzards arrive, then the kites. They swoop and plunge, but so far they haven’t caught anything.
Meadow mowing, slow,
watching the dash for life
like the buzzards.
Daily poem: Lune 26
Summer breaks loud
as storm and thunder rolling,
as frogs chuckling.
Daily poem: Lune 25
Dawn spreads gold
on the meadow, waking to
birdsong and dew.
Daily poem: Lune 24
Walking at evening
where bats flit owls call—
kind of peace.
Daily poem: Lune 23
Waiting to mow
for nests, forms to empty,
seed to set.
Daily poem: Lune 22
Evening cat walking
such slow and noisy progress
but so companiable.
Daily poem: Lune 21
Frog-chatter and owl-chirrup
battle for mastery on the
twilit meadow stage.
