Spring Fling
across squishy ground
scattered remnants of winter—
young child in heaven
~A Rose by Any Other Name~
They say
that in poetry
one can confess
all their sins
be freed from
their past
and start again
but these words
I write
won’t last long enough
to be remembered
no matter how hard
I try to hide them
behind flowery prose
they will never
smell like a rose
Survival
while he eats the mouse
the hungry fox does not care—
if the chase was fair
