Fragrance of cocoa
 
stains the summer morning air—
 
chocolate daisies bloom.

Crowds

 
 
 

near the garden gate
 
a single dandelion
 
crowds out the daisies

Meadow

 
 
 

the killing meadow
 
for infidels at twilight—
 
blood-spattered daisies

Daisies

 
 

in a clear glass jar
 
three daisies picked this morning
 
by my youngest son
