All At Once It Seems




Two goats in the sun;
Distant sound of kids playing;
Dogs bark mindlessly.









Buds and red berries:
Pine tree bursts out in the sun.
A car races by.








The crazy white dog
Has torn a hole in the screen.
Just what does he want?











Flowers have appeared
In fields, on the ends of limbs;
All at once, it seems.









The first lilacs bloom,
Bursting whiteness out of buds;
Quiet--soundlessly.











Small spray of yarrow
Pops up from bed of dead leaves.
Now it is in charge.









Spread between branches
A thick translucent white web--
Tent caterpillars.








Desiccated frog
Blends into the gray pavement,
Soon will disappear.
