Flight

Flight


Screaming over the liquid mirror


gliding over infinity


hoping and fearing the water's edge.


................................


Haiku Interlude


Wading through the grass

hip deep in the nodding heads

all dew and dust now





dawn and dirt and dew

and bright days begun anew

dusk and dust and death





beating feathered wings

screaming over a mirror

landing on the shore




holding baited breath

waiting on the next moment

releasing tension
