Dick's backyard
[ASR] A meditation while sitting in a friend's yard in Illinois.

♠♠♠♠♠

Dick's backyard

♠♠♠♠♠

Along the path,
the virginia creeper climbs the ash,
soft dirt mounds whisper, "moles"
and two rabbits dine on clover.

Ears flick towards the storm,
when scent of lightning cuts the air.
Here, drops and sprinkles barely wet the flesh.
Dusk darkens underneath the clouds
that grumbling in the west

move north while leaflets gently wave to
Queen-Anne's-Lace. She nods.
Inside the tv blares the tale
of a distant war in a desert clime.
Here, green covers all with slime,
while fireflies glow neon in the gloom.

Thunder speaks, but no one listens.
In a green year,
no one comes to greet the rain.
No one cares to answer.
