Final Spring
Noisy crows and starlings converge
On the bird feeder devouring my offering
"Away" I do not say
_____________
Weeding and raking the garden
Throwing every seed hither and yon
No more straight rows for me
_____________
Window boxes full of ants
Planting the pansies with them
"Enjoy your new home" I silently say
_____________
On the lounge I recline
Without sunscreen soaking up the beams
Freeing my childhood freckles at last
____________
Eating ice cream at night
Potato chips and sweet tea by day
Calories I do not count
____________
Asleep I drift to dream
Of beckoning stars and wispy clouds
Until the mornings dawn no more
