Kit Kelen #988 - at a stretch (a day at home)

988

at a stretch

a day at home

one at a time

and this one today

the clouds I comment on are gone

stars while you watch blink shift

all comforts of

and awkward to be

making home

so as to

leaf by leaf

be breeze borne

stretching into skin

never quite fit

how small to this sun

soon swimming

trying to breathe

with the given equipment

through moonleaps

and a little pizzicato

I distract myself at it

with every adventure onto another

aren’t we just the map

time takes?

as in a golden afternoon like this

before the big wind’s upon us

choosing to haunt

say home
