PRAYING MANTIS

Ever respectful

in the presence of preying,

or praying out loud.

BUCKS IN BRUSH – TWO HAIKU

I will not say where,

but offer a photograph

of three before rut

 

rattling branches

of brittle Manzanita

to harden their horns.

WILD NATURE

Prey or predator,

death untangles survival

with purpose for all.

TIGHT SQUEEZE

A beautiful death

to compress a rodent’s life

into a banquet.

SPRING 2021






Short-stemmed wildflowers
attempt to act normal, draw
eyes from bare hillsides.
