So busy last night—
the old cat yawns
in mid-afternoon

.

Under summer moon—
wholly concerned with food and love—
fireflies

.

The small dog
suddenly brave
stalks a beetle

.

They couldn’t care less—
tadpoles
in marsh water

Thank you both,

These arose from impressionistic memories of that year
of transition from childhood to adolescence.

It was odd how they suddenly came up
after so many decades submerged as thought lost.

Thanks again

John
