so at home
there’s nothing she doesn’t know
the deer in the woods
*
those incredible eyes
those coal-tipped ears and nose
they dazzle me
2139. bedazzled
2138. kitchen window
pinecone, kitty buddha
two golden pears, cup of green leaves
little poems
All kitties know how to meditate. Aren’t we all buddhas? Two golden pears lean in, blushing with rosy cheeks. Green leaves never ask for much to be happy, only sunshine and water. Pinecones go on forever—symbols of immortality, fertility, creativity, protection.
2137. the lawn mower
mowing the yard
blade by blade—
the groundhog
It was a warm sunny day. I looked out thru the window back behind the house where the railroad tracks run. There he was pulling with sharpened teeth, happily gnashing grasses and chomping away mouthful by mouthful. I grabbed my phone to take a picture. He paused, turned his head, looked back at me then quickly waddled away up the slope and disappeared into the tall bushes near the tracks. Curious, I Googled and learned: A groundhog has four strong self-sharpening teeth crowded to the front of its mouth, can eat up to a pound and a half of grass every day, and can make a fast getaway running up to 10mph!
