A Pair Of Glasses, A Swan, And An Origami Clock

Nature is calling,
your hips swaying.
A light snowfall takes
place in a winter 
breeze.

The footprints of a doe
and her fawn grace the
land in fragments.

Broken bits of
grass poke out
from where they
were last seen, in
brown, sticky
patches.

A moose,
a rabbit,
a raccoon—
resting, rejuvenating,
saving their strength.

Birds chirp,
wolves howl.
I close my eyes
and know I’ve
made it.

Did you make it
to Italy, sparrow?
For I am yet to
make it there.

I wish
you well.
