Planter

Fur, flesh and plastic /

the pussycat and the owl /

share a green planter.

Poised

Wide-eyed cat above,

poised in a dogwood tree.

Icarus waiting.

a snake jerked up Iris.

Through the evening sky, /

“The road”

The road

The road less traveled /

often becomes forgotten /

until the next snow.

Earth Day

“What is the universe? Space. Out of space came a coagulation that became a nebula, and out of the nebula, millions of galaxies, and within one constellation of galaxies, a sun, with our little planet circling it. Then out of the earth came us, the eyes and the consciousness and the ears and the breathing of the earth itself.”

– Joseph Campbell
