Don is a marine
Jeanne is Hummingbird
Don is a marine
He bivouacs
Forages
Camouflages
(Salamander style)
Jeanne is hummingbird
She flutters
Flies forward-reverse
Sonars where to sip the nectar
Dips her beak
Carries fecundity to babies
And comfort to the frail
Pads the nest
Near the bivouac
Grounded in the rough
A tough acclimating forager.

glamour is not my soul’s breath

Today a squirrel arrived intent on the bird feeder and 2 aerial troopers knocked him off balance and he hasn’t returned to the deck! The gold finches, doves, bluebirds, purple finch and a host of other birds have made my deck their refuge. They’re defending it against snakes and rhodents!
we’ll be watching for
rising temperatures,
sea levels,
precipitation!

Dragonfly Wings by Seth Snap
dragonfly and damselflies @ Audubon Society , Austerlitz, NY May 19, 2014
daytime calls the dragonflies
moonlight masks their sleep;
while damselflies fly ‘neath the stars
and nap in bright of day.
dragonflies see all the colors we see, plus ultraviolet light and polarized light; they can detect the
flickering of light at twice the rate that we can
