Listening in her chair
Creaking in its age
Watching dew caress
Web lines of her spider
Crisscross the splinters
Worn from her lovers
Gift upon her porch
Orange melts to blue
Drowning in the tune
Twittering to twist
Between the green
Interrupted in crimson
Swirling yellow jade
Feathers enveloping
The yearning song
Of a lark’s lover’s
Heart
