RUMINATIONS
Running these empty roads
Summer bougainvillea in full blooms
...
In the early morning he stood in the garden,
Gazing upwards at the pinkish sky.
The birds' orchestra announce,
The longest summer day.
...
Slight breeze, leaves skitter over the paths,
Some crows and doves still pecking at the bird feed,
Offered by the animal lover.
Walkers, joggers, lovers are out.
...
The hallux had become the morning star,
The battered, sacrificed toenail,
Made to believe it needed to give up its life.
