Ground Elder

Ground Elder’s small blooms, /

shining white in May’s shadows, /

invasive beauty.

“Homegrown”

Homegrown

Homegrown blue- and rasp- /

berries held in a ball cap: /

stains soak in the crown.

Do you still see me /

Bread

Life lives in moments; /

some of them in the kitchen /

baking bread.

Feathered bully

Away from the food! /

One rock dove shoves another: /

“Touch”

Touch

Lamb’s ear – a young stalk /

hides among leaves and Iris, /

waits for a child’s touch.
