Varieties of Reflected Light

Moonlight fades 
but the driveway glows even whiter.
 
The underside of a discarded surgical mask, 
under a drift of pine needles.

Red throated, yellow-billed, white-banded: 
each loon's lonely cry.

Startled Odocoileus virginianus: the fawn's 
small pennant, its mother's indignant flag.

Creamy hydrangea petals, as though outlined
by non-photo blue pencil.
