giant stag beetle
with broken antler and limp
still freaks me out

a grasshopper 
lands on dappled granite;
becomes a statue

butterfly,
at work on a flower.
a bird circles

a butterfly 
sits in the road, until
a car passes

the butterfly jinks.
its pursuer holds the line.
i blink; they're gone.

a dragonfly
alights on a boulder,
zipping to stillness

monochrome moth,
but for its yellow cape,
looks pencil drawn

caterpillar queue
marches in lockstep
across the road

dragonfly lovin’
plays out through a high-speed
darting dance

upside-down bees
work frenetically 
in the plush depths
