This Falling
It's gray, then suddenly bright,
gray
first dry day after four of rain, it’s undecided
cloud or light stay.
Retirement, a loss of companions
not so much friends as presence
like children, same-age child at the desk ahead.
Lagoon & channel run low despite rain
something else
first dry day after four of rain, it’s undecided

Retirement, a loss of companions
not so much friends as presence
like children, same-age child at the desk ahead.
Lagoon & channel run low despite rain
something else
mechanical draining the banks.

a shape on a bicycle slingshots
home-school these tests, this falling.
On an average day it’s not likely
a friend will be dealt
cards, a lark, mirror of like, of unlike.
cards, a lark, mirror of like, of unlike.
two heels, two spoons of broth, two
sips of tea
or this, the idea of lunch.

Like glass, few friendships thrive
most age, go to pieces.
The trees hide more once they leaf.
Resonates with me. Very nice work.
