no socks on concrete
rumors of early summer
denied by cold feet

only 5 A.M.
yet the robin is at it –
coaxing the earthworms
2020.05.20: odd duck
We observed something strange when we were out walking last week. A mallard duck did a fly by behind us, wheeled around a tree, and landed on the front yard of a house in front of us.

He calmly watched us walked past him then nonchalantly proceeded to cross on foot across the street behind us.

Can any animal behaviorist please explain?
“always curious
why my cousin the chicken
wants to cross the road”

stillness this morning
sunlight slowly unveiling
the greenness of leaves
2020.05.16: connected
a feathery touch
tingling the nape of the neck
a vine in the wind
