 Alarm

 Take off

A croak in protest and flight

 

A ferocious dilemma in the beauty of humans, wildlife refuges and birds...

EPHEMERAL GOVERNANCE

Ephemeral reminders

The monarchs are going south

like the seeds 

by the wind

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing Grace

In the forget 

life is here
composted
compounded confused
geometric tantric fields of sky
landscape dream cloud
in elephant shape

sliding away (as clouds tend to)
from three generations
of women and many of their men
waltzing to Cohen
and to Lorca

amazing grace light green of spring
swell of pregnant poppies
tight solar plexus
creeping happily

in the forget

dance of summer

here
is wonder in waiting
willing wish

life wanting to stay.

Nossa Senhora das Graças

dos esquecimentos

da vida aqui
compostada
confusa complicada

em planos geometricos

tântricos das paisagens do céu
em nuvens de elefantes

deslizando (como só as nuvens sabem)
por três gerações de mulheres
e muitos de seus homens
valsando ao som de Lorca
e de Cohen

Nossa Senhora das Graças
luz clara verde de primavera
das papoulas grávidas

do apêrto na boca do coração

se insinuando
nessa felicidade do esquecer
da dança do verão

aqui
na surprêsa do esperar
do querer saber
da vida querendo ficar

Tales

A moth

a spider

a hairstreak

and a monarch

 

Eclipsian impressions

A tagged monarch, just before 

eery and cold silence

no moon shadow shapes

bees, butterflies, flowers

in filtered low light

and a moth gone crazy 
in quasi twilight, of course
