Supper

in an old shoe box

a family of field mice

preparing supper

Leftovers

at an old friend’s house

the joy of sharing supper—

some leftover soup

tongue of the bullfrog

snatching a gnat in midair—

supper on the wing

a crumb of stale bread

the only thing for supper—

beggar bows his head

at an old friend’s house

the joy of leftover soup

as we share supper

refusing to pray

before supper, a mantis

devours its victim

echolocation

leading bat mom to supper—

twice her weight in flies

an empty alms bowl—

pilgrim stammering her thanks

for last night’s supper
