Urges
Pond ducklings belly flop
Furious feet, motor tails —
Minnows duck and hide
Catnip
Tail end of winter —
Beside the fire, a striped cat
Dreaming of tiger
Harvest
Sleeping scuppernongs
Purple light of Autumn moon
A doe’s 8-ball eyes
Look
Crouching iguana
His low worldly view a stone
cold-blooded comfort
