Highly monitored spaces
Cameras on the walls
Cross-referencing our lives
Did it catch that nanosecond pause
When our eyes locked, and know
That our hearts were beating together?

How a hand, hard from traveling
Holds the glass, her lips and breath

Cologne of dead deer flies
Dapple of midsummer forest

And so I use something that isn't mine

Somehow it's Sunday again, somehow August. Writing is a winged thing flitting about in the late afternoon sun and I am trying to be still enough for it to land on me.

Happy #smallpoemsunday.

Something to apologize for and correct. Lucky how words are like that - strange how you can just take back a feeling and apologize, pretending, "I was never like that".

Remember the story about the rabbit, who could change into a rusty nail, and nobody would notice them? But, then, it was difficult to change back.

sky-full and true—
a small spot of quiet
in every shade of blue
feather-soft and free as
a bird's heart should be
