Grass Land

short-grass prairie
close-cropped by herds of buffalo
broken by the plough

In the Middle

Earth—this spinning ball
in space—and here’s my house
right in the middle

Downward

in the field a sapling
twisted by life’s storms
growing downward

Sleeping Kitten

oh, that silly kitten
curled up asleep
on my rising dough

silver and gold from afar
empty promises

the plow has come

tiger lilies
lurking in the long grass
once tamed

my train of thought

Forgetting

mists of time mitigate
the harsh memories stored
blessed forgetting
