a little poem

My friend Jenny inspired me to (re)write this poem today (thanks babe!):

Backyard Dog Walker

armor-clad armies of cumbrous clouds
march across a horizon-hugging slice of sky
in gentle waves of military drill precision

I find peace in the soft-spoken spectacle
speed kills
I slow our breathy pace

count the sad stars
as they gaze down from atop
my fallow farm field of view

breath deep
continue on in this quest
of infinite wispy wonderment
and earthy urinal easements
