those few seconds
the river lets go
--waterfall
in the desert
we wait until the ocean
falls from the sky
watching her clean sheets
hung out in the rain
my mind sets sail
I fall from now
into the night
of the future
(the past
makes such beautiful stars..)
we are two steel rails
never touching
or glancing back
as we pass
high above the canyon
static on my phone
a crow lands
on a cell tower
dog on his heels
the cat squeezes through the fence
--goal!
I blow
into the sky
and watch the clouds move
dandelion seed
caught on a thorn
and something's lost
