Birds, flowers, plants and a wasp

                                                         Eric's hanging basket of purslane

THE NEVER-ENDING WONDER

A wren

dives under blooms

of purslane several times,

then into the airplane plant pot.

Searching?

For what?

Now, a dove flies

in, drinks, flies out. A red

wasp circles the birdbath, lights on

the rim.

Do wasps

string birds? Dove, squirrel

forage under the seed

feeder. Do squirrels threaten doves? No,

the dove

needed

another drink.

And before my poem

was done, all animal life had

vanished.
