Still Life
Surprise Lily
born au naturel
a fox hunter’s
freshness
her descending corolla
to succumb fully veil’d
in green
to magically recede ’neath earth’s bed
and be resurrect’d
generation next
A Word from Mother
some nights
I speak in the tongues
of thunder
of lightning
of boiling rock
and lash fear
into the beholders
but in th’ end
the rest
who live upon Me
Me—their hallow’d Earth
will be overjoy’d
for I am still
Alive
Post-Jurassic: Now Prey
Captured this guy on the inside of our den’s sliding screen door. He was about 8 inches long. Our 2-yr-old cat, Logan, catches and brings home up to three of these a day. He lets them loose for a bit, continues to chase them, and eventually kills and partially eats them. Fortunately for some of these guys we are able to rescue and resettle them to a safer environment. But our neighborhood is abundant with lizards and birds. (He caught a pigeon today. Feathers everywhere in my tool shop, where our cat’s access door is located.) Such is the hunter side of our loving pet.
From the Crow’s Nest
be embrac’d my sight
by convergence
of Heaven’s tidal wave
as the rest of myself
anticipates a steeping
ethereal uncertainty
of certain elation
Alpacan Moment
Bouquet
Nature’s fragrances
Breath of firmament Spirits
so savor’d by us
