Animal Life


  

They had happened into my dimension

The moment I arrived just there.


Red-breasted nuthatches

Fledged in the porch post mortice.


A placid eastern garter snake

Shed her skin in the well stones.


A woman carried tomato sauce

Down from the mountain in a  Mason jar.


One hour soul-eclipsed,

The next an Autumn light.
