in a splash
frog becomes water
water becomes frog

children waving wands
strings of shimmering pearls
flicker on the grass
2128
a moment of grief
peaches out of season
trees losing their leaves
2112
babysitting glitch
the grandson is horrified
WiFi not working
2103
translucent specks
swarming the low branches
a fall of angels
2094
paper lantern moon
bright speck of garnet
dangling below
2089
a madness of crows
what are they cawing about
fruit trees picked over
2085
with my glasses off
pinecones chitter and scurry
to higher branches
2084
old and retired
crows perched along the wires
our neighborhood watch
2082
in his city home
the grandson misses crickets
I’d ship him a ton
2080
deer taken from porch
by mountain lion— a silent
prayer for the dead
2079
wielding my trusty
P-38 flyswatter
seven kills today
2076
don’t forget they say
time for my summer haircut
long bending willows
2075
mountain lion roams
backyards and gardens
fearless karma of deer
2074
names of his dead
called out on hot, humid nights
the sergeant dreaming
