Quiet day – made an appointment, took out some trash, made some coffee, admired the daffodils. I have had several instances recently of thanking Dad for teaching us how to watch for roadside critters.
when all colors fade
and the windows light with sky
daffodils still glowthanks to my father
i watch for an ear to twitch
a revealing eyeseveral deer cross
now watch the side they came from
might be anotherthe eyeball spotted
turned into a small red fox
slipping into grass
