crisscrossing shadows
disperse in all directions
dizzying angles
oh so slim and trim
striking a vertical pose
swallowtail alights
A
Single bloom
Dispels
Gloom
my home growing up
for fifteen formative years
waxing nostalgic
on his favorite perch
pausing for a midday snack
busyness can wait
This peanut’s
Mine
All mine
I
Say
Better keep
Your
Distance
Back
Away
Gooey, gloppy
Wet
Cement
Chute directs it
Where it’s
Meant
fluffing and preening
after a refreshing bath
robin in heaven
