After unloading the car
You stood at park’s edge
Cup of tomato soup in hand
Tree frogs sang in sky
They didn’t miss you
But you missed them
This morning, you photograph
Hyacinths blooming by the steps
Listen to the back and forth of birds
Watch squirrels play tag
Wave at a neighbor
Sip coffee by the pond
A mallard pair glides by
Fish rise kissing circles
Where water becomes air
