goddess of bread crumbs
birds sigh at the unkempt yard
since you sold the house

winds mimicking waves
an oceanΒ outside my door!
–spring’s sense of humor
148
kids not-yet-marines
jog along singing cadence
new boots on the ground
158
TheyΒ died for states’ rights.
WeΒ died so that a mother
Could keep her own child.
(Note: from a speech by Robert Ingersoll as remembered by Mark Twain in his Autobiography)
159
peaches have come back
the homeless share them with me
outside our market
149
robins clamour “Thief!”
two crows make a run for it
posse in pursuit
150
grasshoppy bambis
skip along a garden wall
mom points out goodies
151
tiny fawns leap up
frolicking with hummingbirds
mothers forage on
152
does canter lightly
along the tall, thick bear grass
babies jump and dart
160/161
poems on the walls
never at a loss for words
in this seaside house
-0-
cottage rooms papered
with poetry– the bedroom
ceiling: Neruda
