more than
30 years ...
a thorny road
brings me here,
endless future
the water shoot
grows taller
fresh rose buds
is there
an air pocket?
swinging
high up in the sky
free flight
starling murmuration
the playground
empty now
a vortex
revolves around
Polaris...
sleeping cat
on top of the slide
backyard sprinkler
grandchildren jump
over the jets
