Envy (Psalm 37:1)

Do not fret because of evil doers; be not envious toward wrongdoers.”


I wake restless with

an unsatisfied sense

staring at the house

across the fence

and spot a

yellowjacket cone

tucked in the eaves,

busy about

the golden warriors

flying in and out

of their dimpled

waffle-paper home.

Suddenly I desire

one of my own.
