A Wild Visit


she announced herself
in the early morning
as if in a dream

but wasn’t satisfied
with that.
she wanted

to be recognized
and appreciated
for who she was

not a peacock
and not a songbird
either, calling

for her mate
with a quarrelsome
unmistakable voice

playing hide and
seek between the garden
and the rooftops.

Shy Beauty

clematis

Sometimes a real beauty

doesn’t want and can’t stand

all the attention

the ooing and aahing

and silly questions

not worth answering

preferring the quiet

inaccessible places

where appreciation

is limited to those

who seek out beauty

for its own sake.
