loading the boat after a day on the water
sandhill crane flies overhead, magnificently
late August sun taps the hilltop, chef’s kiss

loading the boat after a day on the water
sandhill crane flies overhead, magnificently
late August sun taps the hilltop, chef’s kiss
cross-legged in the grass,
inchworm, tiny as a pinhead,
traverses a slender blade —
its inchworm movements,
this, its very existence —
unexpected joy,
a catharsis
I was not aware
I required
cellphone radar images: red, nearly black; moving fast
cellphone alerts: danger ahead; seek shelter
cellar: a place of refuge
cellar: where one goes & hopes not to die
once upon a time
I looked into my future
both eager & afraid —
watching my shadow,
searching for clues

gargantuan footsteps
the ones they loved most
have gone away
My poem, Five Blackbirds: Random Meanderings While Scrutinizing a Shrunken World, was published on August 12, courtesy of Bulb Culture Collective which is self-described as an online literary space for previously published literary work.
I hope you’ll enjoy it!
speaking only now of hangnails
lumpy gravy, burned out lightbulbs —
yet another New Year’s Eve
does the ibis sing?
it does not.
its cry, a nasaled honk —
just one of many things
I sometimes ponder
over a cup of tea
on a late summer morn.
