NECTAR SAVOUR-gentle bee lights feeds
beside me as I am sighting
colorful floral
~
aromatic bud
enters flower and just sucks
the tasty nectar

Misty Childhood VisionBy calm childhood's brook,
shafts of brash, slanting light
shone through a dewy mist.
From a stone, there I spied,
descending from a thread,
dawn's angel from the dark....

Visionby the spring, in the mist
a spider string, dew kissed
I saw from my stone chair
on its end suspended
an angel descended
gone with a puff of air

Compassion for all Living CreaturesBut not the interminably hopeless daddy longlegs
some say cellar spiders also know as the cranefly
lurking amidst the shower curtain then
flapping wildly all around my hat
just not first thing on
a Monday morning when stark staring
and uncoffeed thus it must
be duly despatched with an implement
humanely and meanwhile the water's
spraying in all directions
Later on leaving my nosy neighbour...

Japanese Beetles
Don’t be fooled, they carry
nothing of the Orient’s allure.
These voracious beetles,
if they had the appetite,
might easily bring down
the loftiest sequoia.
Depraved sexual deviants,
they deflower helpless roses
in broad daylight; and, like
Medieval artisans of yore
turn hardy zinnias into
empty-ribbed cathedral windows.
Their shells are hard like
scarabs, but charmless,
slicked with an iridescence
cheap and tacky like carnival glass.

CockroachesI saw them in the corner
Like brain pieces on the wall,
Climbing to my ceiling,
Loud and stinking with blood.
I can hear them crawling
Inside my moldy walls,
Slow and steady
Like the movement of organs....

Fruit Jar FirefliesI see words, and they see me
It’s true they are sentient, quite
But they will never see the light
of my world through my loins
They keep floating by, ever speaking
never ceasing like tinnitus in my transcendent sight
Like orphans from somewhere never
Their little fingers grope as they look at me squarely
Speaking barely, “bring me...
