–Photo by me

are we
unknown,
in cloistered swirl,
and not yet citizens?
or
are we
alone,
an oyster’s pearl,
the only denizens?
time will tell
or not

–photo by me (in my yard)

Winter’s maid
Arrived last night,
I see now by the dawn;
There’s fresh-fluffed
Pillows all in white
And clean sheets
On the lawn.

smiling glass lips part
endless rows of crystal teeth
shatter on the rocks

with just the right spot
and right time of day
he aims for the shot
starts clicking away
with morning soon breaking
he captures his prey
by taking and making
the shot of the day
