an afternoon walk
sparrow and squirrel
chat about the humidity
beak towards sky
the heron raises its leg
ripple
sweat on my brow
unruly grass, shorten —
red-headed woodpecker’s feast
in empty house
almost soundless
he sings
crows rest on
an elephant watch
pigeons on the sky~
a peacock dances to
butterflies in breeze~
a squirrel squeals~
a red ant ascends
the elephant’s trunk~
a grasshopper laughs~
on the stairway
through dense bush
a red-toungued lizard
looking back –
a black crow
flying away
