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.
today.

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?
