of the doomed rooster

the humpback’s tail

before it goes deep

waiting for a ride

a roadside lineup

of Queen Anne’s lace

dreaming about

primroses and their moths

a bed to myself

all night long

the rail calls for a mate

singing up the sun

singing down the sun

backyard catbird

the newly paved road

hometown

summer clouds

the taiko drummer

widens her stance
