bugs are out now
and moths
i saw a hummingbird feeder
wonder if i should put out mine
some critters surprise
i was looking through the great holes
in the trunk of this old apple
the one mist and rose, the gray mares
knew and loved and stood
muzzle to croup
under
all those years ago
that old tree now hosts
multitudes of bugs
and one small moth
i found them both
bug in crocus
bug on bark
before sunset yesterday.
today we say goodbye to a friend
and welcome the spring
and wonder wonder wonder
at the turning of the season.
