a housefly quits the wall
to make love to my nose.

Married in haste in late June,
the naive young bride soon
had second thoughts.

Early fall—
the still beach umbrellas
are contemplating the unknown.

The dandelions have
changed color—

is beautiful in the moonlight,
but let’s ask the moth.

Autumn leaves in my pond
desire but one thing—
a return to the trees.

Skimming the lawn
behind riding mowers
the barn swallows feast on bugs.
