Beeline
Friday, March 6, 2009 at 08:59AM Swinging round the sunny dahlias,
cresting a white river of air along the border's edge
it dives into an eddy,
probing the Anagallis,
hovers,
then plunges headfirst-heedless
into the open blue trumpet,
arse up,
fine-whiskered legs scrambling,
pressing hard into the lemon-yellow dust.
Silent baby sucks,
a short, sated somnolence.
Then a rough shove
out again
into the current and on.
