if herons left trails
like planes
such patches of
atmosphere we’d
deem superhighways
from rookery
to fish
to field
faithful as the southward
geese

Lanette, an outdoor traipser since childhood, can be found noticing, creating, or sharing beauty. She enjoys listening to silence, bird song, and her eclectic record collection. She’s happiest when digging in the dirt or going for an aimless drive through the countryside.
