My steps on the road;
Humming of the transformer;
Bleating of the goat.












Road into the woods
Patched with shadows and sunlight.
Who cares where it goes?

Deep bellowing cow
Sings out in baritone.
Soprano birds chirp.











Translucent berries
Glowing red in the sunlight.
Fairy tale danger.

A white plastic shroud
On a grave of forest leaves
Encloses thrown trash.

Tall goldenrod bows
Picking up the slightest breeze
To pay its respects.









Bright green forest patch--
A million tiny plants grow;
Their own universe.

Silhouetted stump--
Darkened statue in the woods
Absorbs the sunlight.

A bug and its shadow
Skitters quick across the road--
A double monster.
