Wet dog shakes
in the sun – A crescendo
of scattering children

A jar of ice
cold lemonade
The mortuary table

Ostriches and lions
lounge on the grassland
Too hot today to run

Hiker’s reward
Big sky, whisky, and a
highland cow

Brief colors
Summers on the
Alaskan lake

Butterfly rises
The smell
of lavender

We stood close
under your umbrella
The honeysuckle

Dive bar
Photos of bison, bulls, and a young
Johnny Rotten

Pigeons flutter
Each flash
of the fireworks

Chewing
and listening
Rabbits

Chewing
and sniffing
Bears

Chewing
and spitting
Uncle James
