COBBLER
I am the tree
which made the
peach which
became the cobbler,
said the peachtree.
I cobbled the street,
said the stone.
I cobbled the sea,
said the wind.
I made the wind
so I cobbled the sea,
said God.
HUMANKIND AND ANTS
The ants who build
wee little hills
in the cracks
of sidewalks
trust in the gentleness
of humankind.
DAISY SURRENDER
The daisies' white petal
flags of surrender
flutter in the breeze
.. so tiny... so powerless
.. asking mercy of
the mower's blades..
What was their crime?
In the sun the flowers
flourish
...Amen!
