Rats scuttling about,
no time to watch the flowers;
all of life’s a race.
Run
Rituals
Summer gardeners
checking on the tomatoes;
daily mindfulness.
Works
All the world’s a stage:
parks, rivers, corporations;
you and I, workers.
Safe
Nest on my garden
tiny egg nestled within—
mulch keeping it cool.
Home
I watch the gums be,
embracing the cloudless sky,
owning their country.
