A worm wriggles
through a loophole
escaping the
early bird.
Singing inside
a skunk cabbage
amphitheater —
a chorus frog’s
song carries
throughout
the swamp.
An owl’s screech
pierces the heart
of darkness.
My mind
wound tight
as a guitar string —
playing music
only I know
the words to —
I sing my anthem
in soulful silence.
Rainfall triggers
a stampede of newts —
their rough skin scraping
like sandpaper on wood.
Rain-soaked lawn
flowers yawn awake
and worms renew
their bodies in mud baths.
Lost in song
the drab sparrow
colors my world.
Standing
alone
under a
storm cloud —
feeling the
hard rain
wash away
my inhibitions —
readymade as
the puddles
at my feet.
A tree leans
into the wind —
tempered wood.
Branching out
with gnarled digits —
an ancient oak
palms the sky.
Pink plum petals
plaster the pavement
Spring’s impetus.
In the saddle
