salvia microphylla aka baby sage “Hot Lips”, May ‘22

rambunctious squirrels 
morning ode by songbird choir 
silenced by more rain

2022.05.23: ruckus

not a pleasant sound 
to wake to in the morning 
the raven’s CAW CAW’s

2022.05.18: vive la vie

not far from a stream
May flies crisscrossing the air
one day in the sun

2022.05.17: night rain

finally it comes
gentle tappings on window
thunder’s not a dream

2022.05.13: squabble

go away, May ‘22

morning peace broken 
by mockingbirds and raven 
hashing a turf war
