this odd little shrub
grows snails like seed pods:
or so it seems.

this odd little shrub
grows snails like seed pods:
or so it seems.

from lush green hills,
the city is painted
in hazy blue-gray.

cool, idyllic day:
summer rallies a last stand,
before the Fall.

twin butterflies
spiral around each other
with spastic gravity.

diligent spider
works its catch
into a meal.

in stillness,
the mantis becomes
vegetation.




willows cascade,
evoking waterfalls
on craggy cliffs.

turtles sun
on the statue’s base,
becoming statue.

the curious child
remains unbaffled by the
complexities
of snail amore:
thinking the lead a tow-snail.
