As I drove by the park,
the breeze barely moved the now vacant swings,
and nobody sat on the park bench.
The leaves swirled across the grass
like fleeting memories--
nearby the creek trickled steadily
like the passing days.
I sit in shadow of balcony
ReplyDeleteDog sniffs through railing
Glaring in morning sun
mountain blue sky
Edges against red apartment roofs
Horizon missing
Fleeting self--
Mixed in material matters
Counting on quiet climax
I've been on that balcony...thanks
