Gaia (tm)

It was so nice of my network provider to ask
if it could enrich my spiritual life.
I'm not sure if I should click Allow.
I have noticed that many of the apps I thought were one thing
have started to flow, like the river in the Hundred Acre Wood.
Eagerly, they spread out to seek
new opportunities to serve, and my bank may soon serve coffee.
I am making plans to escape to a branch
with all my pots of honey.

Morning Prey

I saw the crescent moon with earthshine,
lying on its back and Venus pendant a handspan below.
My dog caught a ridiculous scent that pulled him
scrabbling for the neighbor's yard
straight toward the moon and planet.
I spun a story about coyotes running into the sky.
On the way home there were only streetlights,
but now I'm listening for sounds of trouble.
Thank God, when I run out of my office
he's only caught a ball.
