Black Birds Flying at Wal-Mart I see them gather, flock on flock, At 7:30am sharp, they start to squawk and talk. The sun peeks up, the horizon glows, The air alive with cackles and crows. Their feathers bristle, sharp and black, They soar and dip, they dart fourth and back. Their eyes, a yellow shining disc, Reflect the light, a golden whisk. The parking...

It was a party of fleas who dropped some tea into the sea, Created a baby that left its mommy, Now there is an elephant and donkey in the room, So, lets ask, who’s the bigger a--? A spark, a flare, lighting a camel, an affair, Puff of smoke gone, what went wrong? Bully the pulpit, who’s the culprit, Line drawn...

The perfect petals puncture the fabric’s purple-blue, And silver-platter fins paint the water every hue. A globed sky has thawed, ripe with pine and sapphire stars— And the glinted sheen of the oil graze on your lips reminds me who and where you are: South; below the electric-white moon, Bright enough to bleach my bones and...

Once upon a time on a quiet walk I felt strongly that I was being watched. Stood still and listened, but heard nothing. Then noticed the trunk of a small brown tree. A tiny snake was sliding down it, without sound. Another time I was walking in the forest at dusk. I heard the crunch of leaves next to me as...

Cooper was a large and curious tiger, the bright star of a motley circus, Always out of step with others; like erring moon, of dawn skies, citrus. He was well fed and got lots of attention, like rave days of mist roses, When silver moments tell true stories, before the latterly hour closes. Whenever other tigers went left, Cooper...

Well, there is someone for me now- I thought as I bought him home from the pet-shop, My boy had left me last week, Now I have him to kiss my cheek Ah! What a company! I took him in my lap, And showed him my house's little map, Which I had made for the rose now faded, Which was seen by the...

New kid lost in a new world, when separated from what was known and loved, alone when separated. Some animals regrow lost parts of themselves: twisted limbs or tail. Parasites die without another to depend on. They die when separated. Barnacularly reaching out to anyone who will notice, with bird-like wails, desperate to be seen, to survive, before it is...

You are alive, squirming in my hand like a dissatisfied infant or a fish searching for water. You are alive, we are alive. There is something the same in us- some spark undefinable, except by contrast to its cold absence: death. You have a mind and survival instincts and stoic eyes like a sixth sense I cannot recognize. The quiet of the dissection room is heavy...

This winter, the dogs are hungrier than ever And birds get away from the rotten trees The children abandon the orchard every afternoon And the street cats wail in the lonely nights Every dusk of this December, I'll go sit on the cold bench of my orchard And look at the withering red roses Till the last ray of the sun departs The...

She was a proud Osage who loved her tribe, her family and her skunk. He had adopted her when he was a baby; he loved her so…. Will he spray me? Potential suiters asked, a bit afraid of this fluff ball. Only if he does not like you, Girl who Loves Animals replied. Her father sat at the edge...
