Mid-week work shake-up,
hours blended into a blur,
confusing my days.

Little yellow sprouts
polka-dotting field of green,
to brush little feet.
Steve D
Overcast drizzle,
enough to turn away crowds,
for our own park day.
Steve D
Miniature hill,
a mountain for toddler feet,
running up and down.

Wake on the wrong side,
spend weekend recovering
from everyday life.
Steve D
Moss clings, sodden trees,
drooping grass, muted rustles,
damp feet tramp and stomp.
Steve D
Pollinator field
trimmed to roots and bare patches,
sacrificial lawn.
Steve D
Airy blue pallor.
Wan sunlit afternoon sky.
Winter’s feeble grasp.
Satellite closet,
outer space for home station,
detached cargo hold.
Steve D
Single misstep, slide,
like a droplet through a crack
into unknown depths.
