young jay flutters down
inches from a feral cat
one in every flock
Month: July 2015
322
outdoor cats visit
mine separated by mesh
monitored by guards
321
a firefly glows
brighter than the rest… my jar
lies broken at home
320
I toss banana
peels into the brown thicket
explodes into fawns
319
all doors and windows
stay open in this heat
neighbors hear neighbors
318
tangles of branches
the sheen of dark gazing eyes
barely visible
317.3
the rent has risen
jenny wren and her children
vacate the bird house
316
wake up in the cool
blue of morning, like a fish
in a mountain lake
315
Jenny Wren and chicks
cannot afford the two grand
rent for their bird house
314
yellow and twitching
in the bushes– banana
peels left for the deer
313
curses, door slams, screams
wafts thru my open window
Moon looks down sadly
312
latest android app
how you will look elderly
what were they thinking??
311
dragonflies mating
in erratic mid-air flight
the Metre High Club
310
saxes and bones blare
bow-ties knot demselves silly
trying not to dance
309
years painting bamboo
brush and ink on folding screens
I’ve captured nothing
308
sounds of silk tearing
impalpable wings beating
dragonflies mating
307
cats are like sales staff
they avoid going to meetings
unless there’s doughnuts
306/ O-Bon Festival in Japan
the dead’s festival
they dance until fireworks
light their way back home
305
teaching chess to kids
no matter what just keep calm
and stay on the board
304
on a narrow bed
a bolster along my back
spooning memories
