Unopened
next to your letter
a butterfly on the table.

Startling a jump
out of the cricket
the Temple gongs.

Un-aware
the sky brushes the lake
until the pelican leaves.

Between boulders
the canoeist bails
some rapids out.

Bathroom mist
after you
unsafe talcum across the tiles.

Barn doors
squeezing daggers
of moonlight.

Cornfield
the scarecrow with the wind
in his long red coat.

Await my atoms
to be buried whole at sea
with waves to become.

The black swans honk
over their reflections
our drifting canoe.

Fast but
tarantula just missing
the monarch’s escape.
