The earliest light
when the whole world’s shapeshifting
and that includes me

One final cold snap
Sweatshirt on, tiny leaves furled
Summer heat hidden

Intruder — on guard!
Dear dog-saviors sound alarms —
Possum walks the fence.

Hair, eyes, lips — all webbed!
Cankerworms drip from the trees —
Can’t wait till they’re moths.

The dog caught a scent
and didn’t let go all day
Dogged change of pace

Squirrels line up to watch
I fill the squirrel-proof feeder
The bag’s unguarded

The freeze killed it all —
Muhly… Turk’s Cap… Lantana —
but look, it’s undead!

Hope springs eternal
There’s nothing like a fresh start
My Easter birthday

Multipurpose rain
Rinsing pollen, quenching thirst
And expressing grief

Deadlocked in conflict
It’s irreconcilable
Rhizomes run wild
