the crab that scurries
when i come within ten feet,
caught unaware by waves

the crab that scurries
when i come within ten feet,
caught unaware by waves

the kingfisher
surveys the Arabian Sea
in kingly fashion

one shaggy branch
cranes out over the shore,
receives light reward

a perfect wave
dashes onto the rocks.
the next one? who knows!

two crows wrestle,
spiraling to the ground.
big, black maple seed



the one true sun
rises over the lake;
imposters abound

a thin band of
reality erasure,
haze on the lake.

an orange streak
burns across the water —
brightly but briefly

the plucking of
prickly pears is at risk
of being pricked
