Reaching

While reaching for your dream, /

a cat may rub your leg. /

He wants your touch, too.

rain reaches for them.

Cracks

Even in the cracks /

of broken sidewalks, plants grow. /

Grow in your own cracks.

“Empty”

Empty

Ceiling lights shine /

on empty shelves. Spring cleaning /

ahead of closing.
