Midnight Ink Stains

Here he comes, bringing fluffy joy

Straight to my heavy heart

Tap tap tap tap tap

Tiny black and brown feet of fluff

Hope of a new life

Can be found in

Empty wasp nests,

Molted cicada shells,

A single feather

through moonlit cypress

she gathers strange little joys

bayou overflows

caskets float down Main Street

evening fishing

black eyed susan mob

crowd surfing beetles rave

chalky white slime mold

growing on my grass

glowing fairy ring

floating in the dark of night
