Nothing but moon!
And in the daylight:

gold finches playing on the feeder,

searing heat seeks flames

let go- surrender.

Grass grows in the night
and early the mockingbirds begin

Yes, his art is to write with such a method, that everything remains in my memory, whereas I forget 1,000 other things. Maybe it’s the attention to detail, the genuine nature, directness: as his wife was shocked because in the night the house was flooded. It was hard to escape. Or there are descriptions how his cat-society works. How they have their patrols, how they suffer if one of them was killed by a car on the road.
