Chaos in her eyes
infinity, dark and bright,
a snake and its tail.
Under the pale moon
Swerving between my two legs
Cat attempts murder
stained glass dragonfly
in the lightness in the darks
longing for true spring
clear night sky bright moon
exposed mouse-hole in border
cat paw tracks on soil
Blossoms, butterflies.
Sharing time, space, and sunshine.
Peacefully silent.
as I near the pond
the turtle head submerges
sky on still water
Sunlight permeates
Cicadas echo in song
Snake basks in the heat
Lean hungry eyes watch
A Lonely wolf stands waiting
Silent snowflakes fall
Pale against the snow
Remains of a cocky deer
Await hungry beasts
cat in the window
bathed in rare supermoonlight
wanting her dinner
a red-bellied snake
livid in the wet meadow
season of ripe plums
Great heron answers
streams of fish, shell, and sunlight.
Quick! A gasp of trout.
tops of Queen Anne's Lace
droop over the inner path
florets full of bees
Yellow butterfly
beats sorrow against the wind
traveling alone
Two girls call a dog
Water ruffles at sunset
Lake brims, heart opens
Venus flytrap grins
sweet petunia sings forte
bee's breakfast pastries
She dreamt of a cat
Who would like to talk to her
Spoke of his headaches
The winged creatures lure
moonlight and stary draped skies
Woodnotes of the night
golden sunlight shards
pierce the silent forest floor
doe and fawn listen
sarawak orchids
where borneo butterflies
can hide in plain sight
clouds passing above
pretend the houses below
are strange animals
Studying the eels
I recall Luke's gospel: snake
in lieu of a fish.
midwinter south beach
wind-driven sand moon-pulled waves
each dog bows then plays
pink wild rose blossoms
lone traveler along road
bee bathes in pollen
a single heron
skimming over rough ploughed fields
- all the fish fossils
Hawk moth in the grass
Belly pressed to stem, to shoots.
Spring flutters my heart.
We are glowing bright
so the butterflies follow
and cover us both
The soil bubbles up
Bees are out scouting
Yellow daffodils
alert hare watches
ears up clover sun dining
with nervous cat thoughts
In the midday sun;
A spider dragging its web
through the withered grass.
On the desert road,
the setting sun paints me gold
a lonely fox cries.
hawk with mouse alights
fence post's quiet tenancy
salutes carmine dawn
Snow-white butterfly
Floats by on a summer breeze
Slowly melts away
Two storks and a cat
Linens drying on the line
Summer on the farm
fox tracks in old snow
pale sunlight through morning clouds --
planes out of Dulles
jumbo honey bee
bumbling out of my mailbox
drunk on Vogue nectar
