backyard bbq

feathers fall into the grass

bird flys over naked trees
early spring blossoms

little girls push the fathers into black hair
some tape them onto construction paper

works of art

smiling red lips

words formed from breath stained with chardonnay

tattoos of birds in mid air with worms hanging from the beak
pulsate on shining wrist

a herring bone necklace and a gap toothed smile

a bunch of fast women together

talking of men and nature

giving libations to the house plants

holding two and four year olds by the hand

and ripping bread with another

smoke rises onto grainy clouds

not all of them eat meat

yet they all eat.

red and yellow smeared napkins
everything is recyclable

just like the dresses, kindnesses, laughters.

all are welcome

this is everyone's backyard today
