What Have I Seen?


Sunrise, late winter
            skunk smell, turkey flock
                        playful otter, too.

            *                  *                  *

The white heron, a great blue,
            white phase,
                        in the abandoned beaver pond.

            *                  *                  *

Purple clematis
            its long-awned achenes in globose heads
                        spidery, fiery, extravagant fruit!
