all families love
in very similar ways.
but hate uniquely.
venial veneration
imagine the world.
see the turning light to dark.
summer to autumn.
glassy skies
sheets of heavy rain.
like wet molten strings of glass.
how green the meadows.
look squirrel
the old black squirrel
can’t find his long buried nuts.
the hawk sees dinner.
black magic
the black knot of bees
thick as leaves on summer trees.
put upon flowers.
bird on a diet
in the bright morning
the tired worm is sleeping in.
early bird hungry.
