Poem Category: The distance

in her new feathers
the distance
from the edge of the nest

the distance
a tumbleweed has
in leaving

parrot shrieks
the distance
their calls carry

mountain light
the distance
around its aura

origami class
the distance
our quietness enfolds

youth to man
the distance
in a raspberry’s taste

the distance
lightning cracks
into darkness

still birth
the distance
a mother grieves

the distance
rains murmur
for the sea, for the sea

the distance
my Zodiac shines
out of trillions
