Sleep beneath the ground in a blanket of darkness, you nightshade tuber

Nimble little legs scurrying along the sand, chasing ocean waves

Night sky's cubes of ice - stars falling in jars of dreams, intermittently

for Algot

Ice cubes, now melting, chill the provisions we bring into these deep woods

Paw a patch, then play, cat, that small Valerian sends forth feline love

Deep within the hedge, quail quiver under cover; then fly, in flutter

Covered with clover, the field's as green as a sea, buzzing sharp with bees

A heart of purple blooms in the back of the yard; Morning Glory smiles

A smell of sweetness - the wild vines of late August when grapes break their skin

Relentless chirper, you hide behind the thicket of things, loud cricket
