Thoughts come and go.
Leaves sprout and fall.
Breath moves in and out.
Flowers bloom and fade.
Hearts beat and stop.

but it must have been

that bluejay’s staring
right at me
and going on and on.

The steady hammer
of a woodpecker’s beak drives

Good Boy
Ever thoughtful, Knox
watered the iris after
several days without rain.

Dogwood Dandy
That spellbound spider
got caught in beauty’s web, and
paused the work on his own.
