As I glided over the crest
and slipped...
Bus terminus,
fussy pockets, speedy wheels...
I'm a bead of water
on your shiny table top...
Her fingertips play on my bark,
tapping a rhythm...
You have left your best smiles,
softest of whispers...
You have meandered away.
I am an island...
A flicker of the eye
revealed evanescence...
Light
clears up...
Not with
discharge of cannon balls...
One milestone
a road winding up the hills...
Leaves rollick
in sunup dew...
I was gazing at a stainless canvas
fingers rustled over unshaven beard...
