Between Two Points

I saw you once through trees,

light and shadows on your face,

the sounds of children nearby,

boats on the water. 

Distance calculated between the two. 

Long Walk, Bisecting...

 It can mean several things,
to exceed your grasp daily, 
mindful of barriers or not 
fully seeing what's on
either side of a line. 

Abandoned

Upon entrance, you stumble through to rust, 

and someone else's abandonment.

But you claim it as your own,

which it is,

until you leave.

Crossing Over

You crossed into that light,

surrounded by soundless water. 

Resting Place

Collapsed giants. 

Eyes fixed.

On no particular point. 

Pear Tree

The mistake Eve made

was not in accepting the apple,

but forgetting, 

when the serpent turned,

to also take the pear. 

What Grows Out of Fracture

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” 

~ Ernest Hemingway
