Looking for some fun,
Murphy approaches sleeping
friends one by one, gives
a hiss when she can’t rally
them. Looks at me. Not you too?

Anticipating
the approaching storm, eleven
mourning doves flock to
the feeder and chase away

Here in Virginia
Autumn’s coffers overflow
with gold, gifting all
who choose to partake of such
amazing natural bounty.

All it takes is one
swish of a squirrel’s tail and Knox
is off and running.

calling me to pause and come
home to the moment.
Until then I didn’t know

An ordinary
country road, shimmering in
slowly shifting mist,
adds a note of mystery
to a daily drive to work.
