nature tucks away
answers to unasked questions
waiting for seekers
nature
Firefly
a moonlit run
i catch a firefly just to see
my hand light up
Spider
spider’s quiet home
swiftly ripped apart and seized
by the trail runner’s face
Tornado
face down in a dry tub
her breath against the fiberglass
tornado blows above
(inspired by a news story about a woman who survived a tornado by laying in her tub)
Crevice
rock wall by the creek
wide crevice dark and deep
i could fit in there
Embers
far-off city lights
twinkle in the cool night breeze
fire embers glowing
Sliding
tires sliding sideways
across the icy highway
sudden slow motion
White
billions of snowflakes
tiny soft wet notes combined
songs of white noise
