Dogs or cats?
I prefer either to humans, generally speaking. I prefer dogs when feeling the need for affection, but cats when I want my space. Since the latter is more often my state of being, I guess a slight edge to cats.
wildlife trail:
a subtle part in the grass;
human trail:
a bald and dusty line..., but
a buck 'd be hell on your rug, too!
raptor rides updrafts:
head & eye swivel-pivot;
all else, glides.
frenzied pigeons:
a tight, geometric horde—
until food’s end.
lily pad sprawl:
herons march, beak-down,
on the shifting surface.
crow on a post,
on rocky desolate ground;
waves lap ashore.
a cat / burglar
brashly slips through a window
in broad daylight.
grass, shaggy & green,
sprawls across the valley;
swallows race & jink.
a cloud of pigeons
wheels about in a broad loop;
a thin batch returns.
