Crane

Yesterday,
A Sighting!
The slim white bird returned.
With his long neck undulating
and legs very still,
fixated on a lizard.
We wait.
He waits.
Then,
a bulge in his neck.
Evidence.

Daffodils

The first daffodils
show up by the
propane tank
and the roses that
need to be pruned.
Good.
There is still hope.

Eucalyptus

Austere allelopathic Australian army
soldiering on
littering pods and leaves
so nothing else can stand.
A windbreak for
the parsley and celery and cilantro
standing in the wind
and watching the cars go.
