  2. the web captures
    a leaf…
    still hoping

    fighting over
    the olive branch –
    king parrots

    roadside
    cockatoo and magpie
    share bread

  4. oh rain
    washing sunlight into
    golden rays

    rain, please keep on
    for she’s crossing
    the bow bridge

  5. saliva dripping
    they keep swallowing
    picnic in the meadow

    dog tongue clack
    merry legs are dancing
    big clear bowl

    the Well-Fed
    sees chopsticks
    as two beams

  6. summer heat
    freshly churned ice cream
    excites my tongue

    burgers on the grill
    the neighbor’s dog
    howls his misery
