Reunion

 

Dazzled

by light

by color

by the height

of the sky

as if

a gray door

opened

and I stepped

into

blinding

sunlight

My eyes

my heart

feel tender

like

a tiny leaf

unfurling

Land[e]scape

 

Beyond

the created

landscape

of circles

and lines

the rough

shorn down

in razor straight

stubble

creation's

land

escapes

collapsing

into a clutter

of fallen branches

wet leaves

creeping

into perfect

corners

blurring

boundaries

erasing

our footprints

the moment

we lay them

down

The only story

 

When I was

a little girl

every story

was new

not only

because I hadn't

heard it

but because

my story

was unwritten

Slowly

my story

has been written

between the lines

of everystory

until

it is one story

and that story

is yesterday

today

and

tomorrow

Glimpse

 

Sun spotlights

pale shadowside

of fallen leaves

like

the pearly

interior

of an oyster

or

a sparkling flash

of quartz

revealed 

by a passing wave

Fall's

forgotten

treasure

waiting

to be buried

in snow
