Stripped to the waist the snail
Enjoyed the moonlight

Spring rain: and as yet
the little froglets’ bellies
haven’t got wet.

Lean frog,

fast summer rain storm
sprinting as the skies open
can’t outrun nature

emerging from shell
cool spring transforms to summer
quickly world opens

dying for us all
