Hunting

Invisible Poetry

  • I have always had strength
  • To go where I wanted, fast or
  • Slow. I miss vigorous pacing
  • That was done youthful,
  • Ably, zipping about arms
  • And obedient legs following.
  • .
  • I miss the active pull from
  • A giantine stack of to do
  • Chores and the occasional
  • Walk on the sanded beach
  • Hunting for shells and stones.
  • .
  • I miss running joyful,
  • Lungs laughing at sidewalk
  • Squares moving backward.
  • As I leaped ahead, flowers
  • Watched, leaves about
  • To fall, waited.
  • .
  • Rain washed or after dark
  • Both sounded klaxons to
  • Move faster. I felt new 
  • Cooling wind in blinked 
  • Eyes as if the hard absence 
  • Of pain was a clue, 
  • A wonder fully to not
  • Be lost.
  • .
  • Now, couch to chair, a
  • Mapped wavered course. 
  • A weak walk outside an
  • Adventure, unlike fleet
  • Motioning easily rerun.
  • Unlike a small picture of 
  • Unedited happiness.
  • .
  • Lady A
