plump caterpillar,
grounded on the sidewalk,
hopes that wings
will come around - before
a careless foot does

plump caterpillar,
grounded on the sidewalk,
hopes that wings
will come around - before
a careless foot does

clouds, pulled & rolled
like fine webbing, glow in the
conch-orange sunlight

water lilies
align in a window
in the foliage


sinewy tree
reaches into the park;
i feel its effort
