He waits for my food. /
Mockingbird and his hunger. /
Peanut butter spring.

The mayor taped
I saw the mayor taped to the door. /
His mug was one you couldn’t ignore. /
He promised a meet and greet; /
Then a rasslin’ match to complete. /
I don’t know if I’ll attend. /
Such events do tend to offend. /
While politics can be rough, /
Forearm smashes are beyond enough. /
Seeing bodies thrown around, /
Will make me wonder if Cas Walker’s back above ground. /
Maybe I prefer a bit less sham, /
With politicians to be less ham, /
To save the pork for the table, /
And work for the good of all available.

Hand placement
My shifting hands say: /
See, speak, and hear no idea. /
Hands down, they lie.

The world
Over my shoulder, /
Earth is a small orb in space. /
Still, it fills my dreams.

Wings
Wings turned to the sun, /
spreading gentle hymns to the light. /
Spring songs without words.

Breakfast
Some bees feast among /
Spring flowers and fruit buds. /
Some feast on cat food.

Sun said to Iris: /
“I bring forth a new Spring day. /
You bring forth new life.”

Hang down; new day up. /
Daylight Savings Time rebuff. /
Eating im-possum-ble.

Nine years ago
Eggs, age were hidden /
Nine years past, when both were young. /
Spring hides without end.
