glistening & dripping,
must air dry
before it’s a bird again;
humans cramp in the pool.

one hundred birds
startle at my presence;
one eyeballs me.

that they usually prowl.

Snake Hijinx [Kyōka]
i see snakes jutting
from the water; usually
i’d discover
it’s not snakes but sticks,
but today isn’t the usual.

snakes wrestle: writhing, twining,
but slipping the pin.

PROMPT: Animal
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
Human being (Homo Sapiens) bears the closest resemblance.

from still water
juts deadwood on which herons
perch with their shadows.
