2017.08.22: sticky

steamy humid day
clothes feel like second layer
time to peel off skin

2017.08.21: eclipse – shadow casting

imagine the fear
for those who don’t understand
this darkness shall pass

please don’t be the cause that keeps
Light from shining on others

science predicts the paths
heavenly things take but not
the whims of people

flock of doves in flight
one white among grey mournings
an angel goes home

brown fields come alive
after waves of August rain
color autumn green

heavy rain floods roads
never having the right tool
i float home in car
.
.
.
brings back childhood memory
boating overland to church

aching leg muscles
reminding not so gently
“too long since last run”
