Predator

Close up photo of a flowering plant, in which there are several tiny spiders weaving an elaborate web.

Elaborate webs
feigning hospitality—
tiny grey spiders.

Sunlight

photo of the sun filtering through a canopy of trees as seen from below

In the shadow realm
stood under a canopy—
I see light, o sun!

Out

Close up photo of a big yellow flower, decaying.

Showing our wrinkles
greys settle—pretty flowers
on their way out.

Wall

Photo of a line of palm trees overlooking the coast, on a cloudy afternoon.

Bordering our coast
a wall that welcomes visitors—
towering palm trees.

Palms

Swallowing our sun,
giant monsters at twilight:
Mexican fan palms.
