The spider must wait
carrying her eggs
the fly escapes.

book of insects
a cricket’s mate calls
under the floor boards.

our long weekend
painting the room–
the baby’s future

tools–
she’s tilling
to free her roses

the waterfall
and your laughs
within hearing

long weekend
the weed’s hold
pulls back

confessional
our new priest
slow to forgive

after lightning–
beside the river
a cracked boulder

talking alone–
in a word
she has no future

a wing beat–
the hummingbird
catches my eye
