#Sunflower Selfies

But #sunflower-seekers flash mobbed the fields—

Zombied by selfie-stick scepter fixation—

And hoarded the climb of golden coronas

Regally braced by stiff-haired raw-green bracts;

They broke and trampled disks of seed-packed spirals,

Plowing under headless stalks in their smiley-face rush

To Instagram a dissipating dream field.

Chattahoochee Song #2

I dabble riverside by the root-ripped, lichen-trimmed log

Heard by Canadian geese on its bank-hollowing fall;

The sun’s blue waves dapple-slap tiny water eddies,

And brown-gray plumage runs in short currents

On the plump breast, wings, and back of a moment-still gander

That suddenly hooks his beak in a ripple, stabbing and nibbling,

Stabbing and nibbling, his proud neck arching and turning,

Then shooting up straight—mate alert—his sharp white cheek patches,

Like arrows, paint his black head and crown; I draw a quick breath, . . .

Chattahoochee Song #1

Oh, my mother, did you paddle the river

Or cast long, slow-motion lines—ambitionless

To net a mess of sun-flashed rainbow trout?

You, the dreamer, whose river fortune I never knew,

What tunes did you hum to bankside gurgles

And brief rapids gushing white into midstream?
