Age Five, April, Maybe
Lying in grass cradle
blanketed warm air
wrapped – rapt – eyes captured
cloud armies in immortal combat
with themselves
sucked into their self-inflicted wounds
no retreat from slip - jetstream
frigid regions of an infertile mind.
Curling smile crisply carves
fine furrows
dainty dimpled flesh
developing sense of humorous perceptions.
I turned to tell a friend
who wasn't there yet.
I rose and left
a convolution in crushed cradle
of wet grass
in my child's mind.

Cumulus Nimbus
Lying in grass cradle
blanketed warm air
wrapped – rapt – eyes captured
cloud armies in immortal combat
with themselves
sucked into their self-inflicted wounds
no retreat from slip - jetstream
frigid regions of an infertile mind.
Curling smile crisply carves
fine furrows
dainty dimpled flesh
developing sense of humorous perceptions.
I turned to tell a friend
who wasn't there yet.
I rose and left
a convolution in crushed cradle
of wet grass
in my child's mind.
