busy
as a bee

high humidity-
poised at the milkweed

showing my daughter
my childhood ‘fish’ jackknife
she promptly says:
“i’ll put that in your grave
when you die”
the wheel
no longer turning
but still a wheel

While planting bulbs
my wife unearths
a childhood cap gun of mine
I hold it
trying to grasp back then
galls…
the very gall
of them!

guidelines
lead to the center
for pollinators
the glory
of morning
in a morning glory…
