Tiny white flowers
Grow wild all over my lawn.
How can I cut them?
Sitting off the road
Black and white cat surveys all,
Watching whatever.
The giant mailbox
Has been through many seasons;
What news has it held?
In dandelions
Abandoned basketball lies,
Soon to disappear.
The empty stream bed
Flows barren among the trees
Promising water.
Sign says no pooping;
It pictures a shitting dog.
But what about squirrels?
Between the two trees
Gray cat sits like a statue.
Is it a statue?
Locked in an embrace
Shelf fungi cling to dead tree
Linked there forever.
Small mini white blooms
Sprinkle up throughout the woods;
Not here yesterday.
Yellow hemispheres
Perched glowing on slender stems--
Dandelions rule.
Yellow and purple
A half rainbow of flowers
Sits by the roadside.
The darkened barn door
Opens into a black void;
Is anything there?
