Survival Skills
Defy the Covid-19 monster
and its forced gravity
Let challenges enliven
a dance through sequined night
trusting soles
beyond the parched desires
of fear's circling moths
Seek Freedom
with toe taps near the sea
fired by a hunter's moon
Freshening the air with scents,
trees provide in our forced seclusion.
They reach into
the sky's blues and grays.
They reach into
the sky's blues and grays.
With a stretch they might pet the clouds
as leaves eavesdrop on bird chatter.
Roots create designs as they
nourish the earth in reciprocity.
nourish the earth in reciprocity.
By a branch swish they wave to children
whose hands and fingers fly on handhelds.
Applauded by the wind, they offer
housing and perches for animals.
While worries whirl in our minds
trees focus on survival skills.
We assist their immortal capability,
help them translate into art forms.
help them translate into art forms.
Summer Ponies
In palomino light
summer ponies
dapple the sky
whipping tails
until unbridled night
races into the sky
nickering.
tossing
his ebony mane
