The mist on the pond.
nervous ducks, bird sanctuary.
new life, new things, tree blossoms.
ducklings, just two, very small.
a triad of flyers, carrying some spirit.
an encroaching of day, apologetic.
pleasure of green leafy chutes.
enamel bird song on silver air.
the glowing quiet.
fat squirrel guards the stump.
mirror of my steps, a hollow thud.
while i walk without a shadow,
breathing hard.
