AL FRESCO GRIFTER EXPO

with the wounded muntfish
barking facebook vox pops
at the al fresco grifter expo

its hard to enjoy
where the plum tree
meets the fir tree
in the garden sky

RED BERRIES LIKE GLACÉ CHERRIES

& the 

great dark 

brooding bruise

of overcast sky

made the 

rain slick

tree trunks 

chocolate

& the lawn 

a garish 

green limeade

red berries like glacé cherries

rudely trumped the fir trees reach

FIRE PITS CRACKED TUMBLE

when afternoon touches evening

four fox cubs play rough & fleet

on our lawn & chairs

& still as a post behind the fir trunk

one parent watches

blended in shadow & brown 

& as the dusk crowds the skys vignette 

she returns to bury 

the food our cat rejected

in
our
fire
pits
cracked tumble

& in the wild wild corner 

kept abandoned

in hope

for bees
