Away from the food! /
One rock dove shoves another: /
feathered bully.

Blue dove guards the seed. /
Red cardinal wants his turn, /

“Old North Knoxville Gothic”
Old North Knoxville Gothic
Saturday, April 29, 2017.
Warm weather, yard work.
Lawn mowers thrumming, voices grumbling,
rakes gargling across the soil,
and heat radiating like a harsh smile.

Sky
Spring sky at the Y, /

Enter dreams with care.

Toy
A soaked, stuffed child’s toy, /

bathed by a lost sun.

Hang
I hang outside; my /

birds hang for his food.

Raindrops and stardust. /
Born from a star’s center, /
Iris blooms in my yard.
