Child, today you are

angular mantis
torn web
clatter of bats

Become
flutter of leaves trilling one toneless crescendo
sway of tall grass lifting visual song
brook’s jabbering psalm,
bright mica

    I like “sway of tall grass” and “bright mica.”

    Here’s to the brook’s jabbering psalm.

    Yes! and I’m wondering what the child has been doing, today…
