Kate MacQueen

           half way across
why rush past 
this warm dry rock
between goodbye
and her disconnect 
      his silence
leaves turn over
in the wind 
the scent of rain
pale moon 
         the wood stork 
                 rising higher and higher
fireflies 
in the darkening treeshade—
evening thunder
birdsong in the garden water falling
light rain 
in the vielle ville 
summer tourists
sunlit reeds
the slender line
of the bittern's beak
nightfall
wingbeats of blackbirds
deep in the thicket
storm's end
a solitary willet
stares out to sea
bright Venus
two hawks settle
deep in the pine
