dusk's chorus
a supernova
of red admirals
dead lotus
wearing acne scars
on the first date
winter light
the slap
of a kelpie's tail
a stagnant pond's
poetry in motion
darting dragonflies
the starry hump
on Milky Way's spine
--- wisteria
ridged swirls
a knoll of antlers
dip into star-well
turning within rubble fresh loam of drone-stars
lungs' flutesong last few hisses in her inhaler
dawn's quiet nook chirp of a turning page
shadow blossoms on a moonbow fallen cherry
