Tilly

Sea green stalks of corn breakby breeze under puffed cloudschalk hills proclaiming thunder.Small dog leaps, brushes butterflysniffs smells lodged in unmappedbrain cells, turns her head to rabbits cryhare’s print kestrel’s whine, scurry of field mice.We walk the ridge her and Ipuppy nose twitch tail heart pumpsnew life breaks around her likenature’s kaleidoscope; all wonder.Sea green stalks corn breakbrown earth agate, stiff breezenight flickers on edge of twilightas we head home for tomorrow.
