as eyes seize it
a white feather
falling from the hawk’s claws
fight or flight
the silk road is long
the spice islands far away
from our brand new world
please send a thought eagle
with a wriggling word or two
the blot
introduces a typo
to prove it’s not a bot
love is
supporting the cat for those
hard to lick places
hot day
a light aircraft
climbs
and climbs
become a shrine
make shambolic the offering
to the insanity of it all
two toes
an ocean apart
tides turn
a gift of seeds
germinating the name
cotyledon
standing heat
covered with honeydew
al fresco
if
not
now
then
when
the cat moves
two inches
summer drownings
once again the word tragic
is pulled from the lexicon
