the rocky tip
of grass-coiffed outcrop
is all I see,
but the sound of a crow's "CAW!"
comes through loud & clear.

a heron stands tall
at the branch’s end,
as if weightless.

dogs have gathered
in military formation;
humans are nervous.

cattle graze,
in an alpine meadow,
under giant pines.

cow camouflage:
sitting in tall grass, stilly —
unsuccessful.

ring of lily pads:
crowd around where the frog
plopped into pond.
