Poem Category: Living Elderly

living elderly–

some moonlight must sink

into the pond

living elderly–

suddenly awake

a distant dream pulled shut

living elderly–

asleep in a canoe

my lines being tugged

living elderly–

into a great silence

the spout of a whale

living elderly–

honeysuckles giving lonesomeness

a scent

living elderly–

the stretch of a kite

at the length of its string

living elderly–

the barn owl folding

some moon in its wing

living elderly–

who from which star

may see us alone

living elderly–

the momentary rose

in a crystal vase

living elderly–

fluttering the beauty it brought

the second butterfly
