Brush of hand on arm

Brush of hand on arm
Both their hidden intents shown
She waited, he moved.

He laughs and looks up

He laughs and looks up
From his perch on mother's hip.
Bright rows of new teeth.

Curious why we

Curious why we
Work so hard, Animals come
Tour the neighborhood.

Shadows stretching east

Shadows stretching east
As the sun settles to sleep,
Waking, stretch we west.

Survival so sweet

Survival so sweet
To justify injustice
Devalues sweetness.

Messenger newly

Messenger newly
Awake from too long a rest
Sprinting to make time.

Roachy flesh becomes

Roachy flesh becomes
A feast for roachy brethren
Bright circle of life.

Tiny green faces

Tiny green faces
Surrounded by drier death
Summer's heat relents.

He sniffed expectantly

He sniffed expectantly
For some long diminished clue
Ignoring Murdock.
