on the last plum tree
to survive the lightning strikes
a hail of blossoms
Change of Clothes
wayfaring stranger
praying for a change of clothes—
ravens mock his pleas
Traces
last traces of snow
cradling backdoor crocuses
the scriptures of hope
Caterpillar
hungry earth mover
big yellow Caterpillar ®
chowing down mountains
Mark M. Redfearn
