FROGGIE BOTTOMS


Opening
door

can
scarcely

hear
those

frogs
fluting

Summer
night

who
climbs up
for

a frog
concert?

On foot-
bridge

over
stream

an
audience

for
frogs

Stands
in

darkness
for

the
frog

notes
fluting

Pursing
lips

the
man

slowly,
softly

croaks
along

A
gentleman

from
Atlanta

croaks
curiously,

“Silver-eye,
words

you croaked
a while ago

aren’t ones
you croak now

Your subject
changes”

“Yup, you
right!”

Somehow
an

empty
pond --

where
have

your
frog

friends
gone?

Waiting
in

shadows,
for

the
memory

of
frogs

piping
blissfully

When
each

of
us

has
gone
