a deer walks,
making less sound than
most squirrels.

a heron surveys
the gently flowing river
with great patience.

behind the leaf,
a spider hides like a fat
kid behind a pole.

one oak tree
stands atop the hill:
unstruck by lightning.



the treetop leaves
that catch early & late sun
are the first to fall.

sun shimmer
in a dense patch looks like
a sheet of ice.

a writhing dragon,
is painted by the sunset
in vivid colors.

shadowland edges,
and a liquid metal stripe:
river sunset.
