Today’s walk
littered with
last night’s windstorm
brittle branches
broken, orphaned here along the pavement
helplessly still
this still May morning
Across my vision like
a silent movie, a slow moving dreamscape
doe in flight, scattered heaps, swoop of wings
Once we carried buds to Mary
twirled around her maypole arms
Once you brought me tiny flowers
promising a lifetime still,
life unfolding, hour by hour
day by day, May by May
