POEM: put it on the long finger

put it on the long finger

a hammock between two oak trees
creaking like a ship in a gentle sea

a curious honey bee exploring
the droplets on a glass of iced tea

a tan dog snuffling through the yard
on the trail of a long-vanished squirrel

a light flashing, unseen in the kitchen,
at the top of an unattended phone
