Stroll

           Our toes tap the keys...

Dancing forward across pebbles

we feel their smooth edge, yet

never release our faces

from the flourishes streaked across the sky—

          ever-changing, dreamy masses

          throbbing with the thump of footsteps—you

hear the symphony of birds,

the gush of wind through oak leaves,

the shore drinking up the rich water…

...But all the while fixated on fluffy, wild things, which

match our step as they jaunt through the sky

and smear a trail against the heavens-cape.

         Ants tickle the cobblestone trail,

but never once distract us from the walk

that we’re taking, hand-in-hand with clouds.
