the pine needles
a black dog.
pecans pelting
the dogs.
the Blanco River turns white
two green kingfishers
on my windowsill
my dog sees him too.
pretending to be Buddha
sweating and smiling
in this town
have cowbirds.
in a muddy rain puddle
a smiling beagle.
from God are you,
ten thousand crickets
searching the pasture
for a good cow.
A heron hovers
above the elephant ears
by the motercycle
repair shop sign.
along the river bank
listening
lands on my finger
and away again
beside the Blano.
you and I
living in this big city.
bats to wake up
summer rain.
