Ambulance
red and blue
lights reflect in puddle-
wailing child

Dog Farts
silent meditation
slowly counting breaths-
the dog farts
Today while meditating our dog Dax decided to test my concentration. When she has to go she will let us know by noxious gas alarms. My sitting meditation became a walking the dog meditation.

Robin shell
crushed blue shell
floating on the puddle-
western breeze
Walking along I spotted a blue egg shell floating on the puddles from last nights storm. The albumen and yolk combining with twigs and other detritus. The little Robin (to be) will not “become” this time.
