“Dog walk”

Dog walk

A fall walk at dusk, /

tethered to the edge of light, /

two dogs and me.

Wish

Light as a child’s wish /

painted across the blue sky. /

I paint a wish, too.

Drive Thru

Home was the Drive Thru, /

nesting ten feet off the ground, /

until autumn came.

Dead leaves murmur, /

susurrate goodbye.

Tenuous

The web to the stars /

tenuous to touch.

A feathered sun sits /

Feathered moons harass.

Raise your leg higher /

Keep your foot above your heart /

Step lightly on air.
