IN SEARCH OF A MONARCH


A morning, from early seven to noon.


Alone in the field, searching for monarchs, 


and finding instead, early tiny skipper butterflies that measure at least half an inch. 




Waiting quietly for a blue dragonfly to perch again, on the same blade of light green native grass, (on any blade of grass, for clear view)






for a pileated woodpecker to feed a baby, once again, way up on a barren tree. 


Waiting for a young deer to finish grazing the roadside before moving on, and even then, stopping by his side, for a photo of no fear. 



A loud noise and a jump in the forest.

Enchanted with an apparition, reflection of pink red-purple above a common pond.








In spite of Cartesian ID fevers, 
endless competitions in naming games,
mosquitoes, flies
& doubt, 


At the end of the road, a monarch, in a barren land of salty trail stone.








Nothing much in this world is better than the solitude of this morning.
