“Slip”
Single misstep, slide,
like a droplet through a crack
into unknown depths.

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.
Steve D
Snowy icy slide,
steering sleds with booted feet,
childlike joyful cheers.
Steve D
Counting down the day,
waiting for evening to come,
to start over.
