Is today the day I rise above
the wind to a windless forever?
They say the shadow of forever
is long and dark and incurable.
Maybe I’ll wise up before I float above
autumn blaze maple and honey locust
and the tattered gray clouds
that decline to come when I call.
Maybe I’ll learn to stay put, anchored
to the mossy red brick of my familiar
patio, consort with chipmunk and
chickadee, thrive in the shade of
my sugarberry tree.
