the sunflower
that bows its head in the sun
feels pensive.

“A Noiseless Patient Spider” by Walt Whitman [w/ Audio]
A noiseless patient spider,
I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form'd, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.

in a city park,
muscular baobabs &
wiry strangler figs
provide residences
for the fierce squirrels.

And Then There Were Two [Haiku]
a pair of blossoms -
all that's left on the tree:
two blooms - side-by-side.
