a still dragonfly
looks perched & ready,
but then falls dead.

a deer walks,
making less sound than
most squirrels.

a heron surveys
the gently flowing river
with great patience.

the lion looks cross,
but, perhaps, it’s just a mask.
who knows the lion’s mind?



in commonplace grass:
a hidden delicacy
for tiny birds.

for any deer pair,
there’s one cautious,
& one obstinate.

a plain, green plant
crawls with bees-o-plenty:
despite no bright blooms.

ducks & geese
cluster in a shallow stream:
layover lounge.
