Son Eric's day lily

Privet,

honeysuckle,

thick layer of gray leaves

cleaned from Grandmother's bed of day

lilies.

New ones

from a daughter

who needed to thin hers

wait to go from bucket to ground

quickly--

a three generation

effort to plant beauty

and provide solace at this pet

graveyard.

DO YOU SUPPOSE?

I swear

I heard a bird

mocking my daily call:

"Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!"
today.

neighbor's

wandering terrier

rests by my brush pile

bumblebee

in the hydrangeas

crow calls from the sassafras

Two white

irises bloom

apart from the prepared

bed. Lesson? There is joy outside

some groups?
