Tiger lily
No, Mr. Baker,
it is not an
invasion.
It’s a Tiger lily.
The invasion comes
a few days
later
with beer and
outdoor cooking.
That’s when
the aliens
—grill your meat
—light your fireworks
—conflagrate and celebrate
your auto-da-fe future.

Up
Thunder teases /
up among the deaf, gray clouds. /
Dreams await relief.

Sky
The evening crow caws. /
The breeze nuzzles sunflowers. /
Clouds slid against the sky.
