hazy moon
in balmy wind of spring
duck returns
~~
see mallards
hunt their shadows
in hazy moon
~~
shotgun echo
under hazy moon
crispy duck

  1. love this sequence – the transitions are great, and the sense of wholeness is (curiously) in keeping with the themes. There is a deep respect in it as a piece which shines through. Poems, yes, but more than that, there is poetry.

  2. Lovely imagery and beautiful set. The second one is a gem. And the last one…ouch. That gunshot went straight through my heart.
