The cricket's all John Cage - experiment on a stage - performing its single note etude, relentless, as the audience awakes

Hanging clothes on the line – I suddenly remember - Pink petals on the vine
Someone, with no rhyme or reason, flipped the switch - It's bug season

the sleight of hand of greens in drift: this magician's first tell
There .. Right there ... Right there where brook tumbles into bridge and disappears
She says, to me:
Three bears (a mother, two cubs, exploring fearlessly) Two ravens (she's sure, spying them in reaches of the tree) One fox (sunning itself near a hole where others might be)

I'm waiting for the hummingbird, not yet come
I'm listening for the music of its distinctive thrum
A pause in the new day, only now, barely begun
How tempting it is to pluck the stem and blow the seeds into the wind but I prefer to gather in and observe the way the wild dandelion, remains, at rest
