Universe

Not just all that is,

but all that was, and will be.

Endless manifold.

This flock of sparrows kept flitting about so I wasn't able to capture many of them, but they're quite pretty.

Had a new visitor to the backyard. A very cold, breezy day.

Every Day

I walk a path into my yard every day.

I walk a path.

into my yard.

every day.

Every day, I walk a path into my yard.

Every day, I go into my yard, and walk around my yard, in a path.

Over and over. A path into my yard. I walk a path into my yard.

Each day, step by stepping step, walking a path, into my yard.

Every day, and every night,

I walk a path into my yard.

In the light of the sun,

in the light of the moon,

I walk a path into my yard.

Reveling in the dawn chorus, I walk a path into my yard.

Walking, among whispering trees, standing there in my yard,

as they have stood

have stood

have stood

have stood

have stood

for so so many years, and and

step by stepping step,

I walk my path

into

their yard.

Ghost

A ghost lives in my phone.

It comes out at night and stomps

around my bedroom

like a cartoon, creaking

the floor boards around my bed, peering

between the covers, leering, seeing

if I am awake (and always, I am)

and always always asking me to take a peek, to see

what it has been up to, to scroll

what is the latest, to post

whatever content, it needs

to feed on, it hungers

and stomps around my room like

an angry cartoon, looking to feast.

Conflict

Sorry that I could not

make it to the meeting.

I had a conflict.

The conflict was I didn't want to go.

I hope you'll understand.

You see, it's Friday afternoon,

and there are all kinds of places

that I'd rather be, real soon.

Sun

Sol, in fire and grace,

drags her burnished copper dress,

trailing behind her.
