Somewhere a dandelion
clicks,
it starts
to put out seed pods--
A tadpole's metamorpho--
sis
reveals a little tree frog
The young one sprawls
with Shiva's love
The old one spars with Vishnu
A tree has breached the canopy,
Your crush just up and kissed you
Your capillaries dilate
Revealing what's inside
So wrinkle up your rosy face
But love, you cannot hide
And somewhere else, a songbird dies
Beside an oxbow lake
And both lay still,
And beautiful
And know the river's wake.
