Nocturnal Suburban Jungle

 Giving cream to street cats,
underneath the waxing crescent moon.

No one else is around.

No one else to see us dance,
to hear us laugh.

...

Two skunks on a first date.
Him in his sharpest black,
Her in her finest white.
I would have brought some eggs, fruits, and nuts,
Had I known it was tonight.
No need.
 The trashcan provides them heavenly delights.
She will join him in his burrow for more than just sleep.

...

A lone baby bunny,
silently surfs the surfaces of the witching hour,
every night,
for a full week.
Where is your family baby bunny?

...

A mother deer and her quickly growing fawn,
relax almost invisible
on the nocturnal suburban lawn.

Where is the elder Elk?
 I have not seen him all season.

Why all these animals?
What is the reason?

...
