Canary-ied.
A yellow monarch on
bloom flutters-by.
That is not random light, it is a worm
suspended by a satin string.
Spinning mid-air.
Center-stage
of the path.
Is that a good or a bad day for the creature?

Hanging by a plant,
pint and a praeter-prayer.

One branch a’loosened. Snapped. Remaining.
The bark of a
tree’s tread. Rubber meeting road-air.

Veined loam.
Detritus.

Vitriol.

A feather/s lost is no
clipped wing but

Bird might have gone
down-y.
I well-aged pair of companions.

Purple seeps in.

Light hangs in
almost-rainbows.

Gone before you can even blink.
Driven snow around and on the ground.
