Bird at my window,
my table is set for two—
come, share my supper.
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
Supper
tongue of the bullfrog
snatching a gnat in midair—
supper on the wing
Bread
a crumb of stale bread
the only thing for supper—
beggar bows his head
Joy
at an old friend’s house
the joy of leftover soup
as we share supper
Mantis
refusing to pray
before supper, a mantis
devours its victim
Echolocation
echolocation
leading bat mom to supper—
twice her weight in flies
Stammering
an empty alms bowl—
pilgrim stammering her thanks
for last night’s supper
