bird pecking at his reflection
- driver's side mirror of car
standing still--
blue heron's
reflection walks
dewdrops, balanced
on the tip of the grass blades
sunrise --
light mist blankets the valley
Suddenly, the croak
of a stray heron hen -
the call of the love
windy
half torn pocket too small
for left hand
thunder
her resounding heartbeats, in my ear
-
