Shards of wildness, even here

1.
Rockville Pike roars at my back.
There, past cement, a flash of yellow:
Goldfinch, balanced on a seed-head.

2.
The storm rolled in while we were at the movie --
Beyond parked cars, the rainbow's limb was
Crossed by lightning-slash.

3.
Gray squirrel, spooked,
Jumps onto snow fence, falls,
And burrows skull-first
Through the rigid orange mesh.
