wearing down
too slow

to ever see

Near the Tex-Mex joint,
a mockingbird sings spring days
between Arctic fronts.

In the morning, before the sun, we listen to the coyotes. Joey cocks his ears to the wild howling of a language he’s never known.

Coyotes—
their pre-dawn yipping
stops us cold.

Velvet starry skies—
I walk the dogs more slowly
on these winter nights.

(They don’t mind.)

Three cedar waxwings,
golden in the sun’s long rays.
Joggers on the trail.

Orion hides in
the cedar elm’s high branches.
What else is up there?

The dogs stop to sniff
each blade of grass. I look up
and wander the stars.

Saturday evening–
the dryer tumbles clothes &
the dogs crunch their food.
