Suspended Motion

Gray Capricorn day;
Clouds and sun vie for the sky;
Furnace hums softly.

Always near his mom,
Baby bull peeks around her butt.
I'm of scant interest.

Blue sky over clouds;
Two worlds presented at once.
Distant saw buzzes.












Stream chortles softly
With a shelter of ice;
Liquid tympani.












Bungi at tree's base--
Mystery of former game
Played by absent kids.

Frozen waterfall
Arrested in its decline--
Suspended motion.

Tacked to the rough wood
Face of a lost dog peers out--
Sorrow on a pole.












Suspended in time
Roots of the upended tree
Grasping at shadows.
