The fruit of Hearts-a-Burstin’ (Euonymous americana)
Entering the Friend Zone
You
Placed me
In the friend
Zone before we
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uttered I love you
Now I don’t know how to be,
All tied up in irony
Knowing every day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My friends hear from
Me the words
I love
You
An Arkquain Poem
Hummingbird
Swing
Dancing
Within the
Small dark corners
Around the backyard
Chasse to glean silken floss
Rock-step to a mound of moss
Choreography
Of Nest building
Inside soon
Fledglings
Swing

Necrophila americana
The American Carrion Beetle

Death
Feeds life
Soft Maggots
Are tasty snacks
Carrion Beetles
Consume flesh and fungus bites
While transplanting mites
Eating what we won’t
Try forcing us
And we may
Prefer
Death
