hides in wet mulch'd leaves

'twixt naked limbs cherry tree

whose budd'd eyes glimpse spring

meadowlark 'pon heart

soft lullaby darkest night

'lights snapp'd twig friendship

smothers chill kindness

falls sweet scented mothers hair

softed touch petals

late afternoon sky

spills pink ribbon'd horizon

rice cooker steaming

beady eyed shin'd black

loot in tow clever trickster

e'en as the crow flies

blue touches 'neath white

discriminating dresser

morn steps through sunlight

she is all women

daughter wife coworker boss

all equal all free

disagreeable

caused by a disapointment

mends with ice cream cone

Manual Labor

not Mexicos President

its worlds dirty jobs

the clock's out for blood.

take note of mismanagement

because you'll repeat
