“Pale”
Airy blue pallor.
Wan sunlit afternoon sky.
Winter’s feeble grasp.
Airy blue pallor.
Wan sunlit afternoon sky.
Winter’s feeble grasp.
Satellite closet,
outer space for home station,
detached cargo hold.

Single misstep, slide,
like a droplet through a crack
into unknown depths.
Steve D
Kids away two nights;
restful sleep without white glare;
baby monitor.
Steve D
Little feet, big thumps
over the bridge back and forth,
hoping to find trolls.
Steve D
Workshops and dinners,
whirlwind meetings and greetings,
for dispersed colleagues.
Steve D
Approaching the line
to a different state. Tap out.
Before it’s too late.
Steve D
New cubby shelving,
vertical toy arrangement,
clutter now cubic.
Steve D
Small feet want to run,
patter over stones and brush,
learning to balance.
Steve D
Singular moment,
turns from one mood to the next,
opposing facade.
