deadheading
red roses in a pathway arch
sparrows by the cat

minor keys
a sparrow on the kitchen floor
a present from the cat.
Now she want's feeding
because her teeth aren't what they were
and she can't crunch bone.
Into the compost it goes,
ungrateful human that I am
but at least it will enrich the soil
and be returned to the earth
a cycle of life
interrupted
