Raindrops hit the dirt,
that petrichor musk rises,
smells of drought and hope.

The houseplant, leaning
scratching the screen like a cat
wants to be outdoors

Under the brown leaves
the bamboo stands thick and green
Resilient center

Stripes of green, blue, grey
Above the clouds, our ears pop
Listen carefully

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
