Every woodchuck lives
with graves, trees, ponds and seeds-spies
squirrels’ lairs at dawn

The i-Clouds
“got the dirt”
on you!
holds it in the haze
flies it past mountains
screens it from hawks.
Then rains it down as mud
that thuds on heads:
splotches eyes
drips off nose
blows its spatter
on what matters.
Birds
sift for seeds
to grow trees
that grow leaves
to scatter into soil
for clouds to suck
to “hold the dirt”
on you.

My Mountain Top
My mountain top’s my vista beam
O’er river, hills, trees and stream;
It’s home to turkey, deer, birds’ flight
It flashes magic day and night.
The hawks hunt high; while wood chucks dig
Their gaze upon the land so big;
The tunnels shine in moonlight bright
It flashes magic day and night.
Gold finch glitters: zigger and zag;
Red throat peckers gobble seed bag.
Squirrels lay store for snowy blight
It flashes magic day and night!
My mountain top’s my vista beam
It flashes magic day and night!

Trains of thought
and thoughts of trains
and strands of hope
and hope of strands
of love and kindness.
Kinds of things
and things of kind
and kinds of peace
and peace of mind
and minds of trucks
and dolls in trees
and journeys in trains.
