Swallow
Hot flash morning
snowy cold milk kisses my neck
Prepping for the road
Thinking of a pill bug ball up
cozy on the couch
Hookie from the test
black shapes appear to disappear
in thick white air
Swallow
Ready for the ride
Home now
I lay watching
a cloudless blue afternoon
from the birdless window
High above me
luminescent tree leaf star shine
caught fallen from fog
Look what we can do!
Don’t you worry one bit.

love the sound of “a pill bug ball up”
from a to z this is A++,
it moves through time & space
with perfect cadence,
you never tell only show
and the last two lines
are an anthem for life,
feel so blessed to a part
of our wonder community
of writers in OWW & lexpomo.
I esp liked these lines, the sounds & images!
