Along the Road

Globules of honey
in glass jars
on a porch
for sale, 
together with grasshoppers
sustained John The Baptizer.


Cornucopia

The bees, fatted
Over the goldenrod
Like Chinese junks
In a typhoon,
Sinking in
A yellow sea. 


Crickets

Early Autumn
A lowing from 
Jack-in-the-pulpits
Invisible music
Almost tinnitus
On sheets of dawn.
