SPRING AGAIN
Late April afternoon
red birds feed their young
in cherry orchard freshness,
landscape brightened
by zinnias and azaleas in bloom
without the aid of Impressionists.
It’s nature’s eternal return.
At sunset thousands of photos
of the moon’s eclipse appear online,
when one or two would do.
Next night Venus and the crescent moon
dance a stately pavane,
unnoticed by the masses
too busy taking pictures of themselves.
