"Observations: Spring MMXIX"
back deck newly awash in the Texas saffron of pecan pollen
squirrels, many strangely rufous as of late,
seemingly more numerous than ever
wood sorrel thrives in clover-like ubiquity
house sparrows, worn out, take to the shade
of that bush with the admirable sense of self-restraint
antique roses strain under their own weight
bougainvillea runs slow riot, battling rogue
(as if there were any other kind) morning glory
butchered mulberry plots a triumphant return
white-winged doves, all bulk and alarm,
try to bring down the feeder to feast at will
blue jays bathe joyously in their sun-hot concrete pool
