sporadic but steady quotes (april poems)

[bardiphouka]

Three Deer One Coyote Running In The Snow
First three deer bounding
and then coyote streaks right after
tail flat out

I stand dumb a while two seconds
blankly black-and-white of trees and snow

Coyote's back!
good coat, fluffy tail,
sees me: quickly gone.


Later:
I walk through where they ran

to study how that news all got put down.
