Ants on windowsill—
“So glad they’re not bats,” I think,
and go back to sleep.

Swamp walk aborted—
continued my dream of strange
birds and animals.

A rabbit—stock still
on the path—it thought it had
a cloaking device.

Pink and white flowers—
honeysuckle—hug the path
on morning swamp walk.

I’m still clearing the
tiniest garden plot. Oy.
Hoed before the heat.

Half a chocolate
pie in the fridge. Must not touch.
Might have to leave home.

Yesterday’s ripping,
tearing, mowing, and hoeing
nearly did me in.

A ripping, tearing,
mowing, hoeing, and planting
kind of day spools out.

Flickering sunlight
through the trees caused a wobble
as I walked the path.

Mom, dad, and goslings
scramble o’er a fallen log
on morning’s swamp walk.
