earth

a frog’s pink tongue
tastes empty air.
hungry again.

the early hours.
filled with dust motes and large space.
wake the world gently.

a swirl of leaves
the dying dance
summoner of summer.

a small wasp
with teeth of the shark.
mighty are the tiny.

big milky clouds
gray with oppressiveness.
when come the tears?

gray hopping to white.
how old you turn in winter.
ears listening for spring.
