hint of spring
the better world
through my dog’s eyes
rising sun . . .
the fawn’s bed of meadowsweet
unfolds from the dew
still floating
on still waters
cherry petals
the weight
of a growing shadow
cemetery walk
fasting and praying mantis
on a billboard
the currency
of self-worth
wedding finery
she sips tea
at a roadside stall
the vulnerability of a black rabbit in snow
through the window
of the other subway
a dog’s head tilts
cold night
the stubbornness
of peanut butter
