I need to walk there

our world —an upside down sphere

in awe we exist

who would have thought that

that feathers the clouds above

in hopes of french fries

seeds we plant today

may be the wettest or tough

temporal beings

the swallows are here

your response — absolutely

wake me from slumber

I saw you today

there’s hundreds of finish lines

we create in life

seek out your zeros

just the other day, grape leaves

I glow in the warmth

tuck your babies in

from an utter nakedness

but, sometimes I break

you chase in the tree

that you stand alone out here

of growth beneath soil

I glanced at you — there

for you, was an act of love

we have ever had

the outline of death

arcs of me, of time — being

and create you own

but I feel as if

with the steel beams of your thoughts

so that I may flow

ducklings form a mass

contained within the puddles

to be a focus

I know you. my friend.

lead you to the horizon

due to gratitude

you are potential

my precious chickadee-dee

astonishing — bloom

the ease to forget

on the forest floor — I feel

it can feel hopeless

I dream that you kiss

a battle-ready sentry

and then held my breath

hoya of Nana

half buried in sand ripples

winter chandeliers

I keep company

in helical curls catching

mirrors for inside

when I am running

with a moment — reflection

for it’s what I have

laying on my back

with bits of pollen and mud

centuries of flow
