eye
of the
beholder
of what
was said
to be
less than
stellar
I see
beyond the
window:
sun and
breeze,
and
green;
sounds
of color
clinging -
clinging to
the tenuous
movement of
"now"
we try
desperately
to preserve.

Last night, there was a large, colorful moth hanging on the shower curtain in my bathroom. The moth hid somewhere within the hour, but I found him in the bathroom sink this morning. I caught him up in a mason jar from that sink. Then I took him out and left him on the deck, near the purple irises. He flew off in a few moments. Both these poems of yours apply. Thank you, Rick.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone ever get to preserve "now"? i'd like me some of that.
ReplyDeleteWell, sure. I can think of a couple of ways to preserve "now." But this is a "G" rated blog!
