a day in the life of the world
Posted: May 1st, 2021, 9:31 am
five loons on the lake,
first time they've been here....
a jetliner moves in slow motion
across a distant space of time and mind
the air is crisp like fall
but it's the first day of May
a second plane follows the same route
and I become aware there is still a sense of order
just because I choose to dream doesn't mean
others aren't traveling the continent like sea gulls
smiling down on me, perhaps they know
that I am not a threat
the trees above the roof bend at the waist
like lithe dancers and there are rainbow colors
lining the rim of a hole in the sky, it just sits there
above me, for three seconds, then closes
like a winked eye
