Auburn Nest
full chromatic color
opening Dorothy’s door
from ceiling to floor —
the rainy season’s generous
a stunning rainbow or two.
captivating, the creature
who skitters about
in and out of crumbling
retaining walls,
running the mulch
like an obstacle course.
dandelions, a treasure
to be plucked and tucked
in my hands. a trivial bouquet
that my mind will savor
...forever.
a wise guy’s eyes,
small that they may be.
the mouthpiece
with missing teeth.
he points out the glittering street
and all the gold he can find.
i kiss the top of his auburn nest.
he’s growing up so fast!

*Truly this is a compilation of two pairs
of boy’s eyes. The tender young
are so poetic of mind.
