one road

upon another—

shoulders to stand on

treasure the moment

if only I could message

yesterday's self

life's journey seeks

to fill the blanks

we wait

for elephants' crossing

this night

a song

as the fog lifts . . .

daffodils and dandelions

jump out

placid lake

one kayak

and a string of ducklings

to defy the erasures

of time

beech canopy

the raindrops loud

on his hat

Mike Gallagher

the fragrance

of a moonflower trumpets

a wren's night song

Mike Gallagher

rolling downhill

the peaty breath

of the mountain

in his tool shed

Longing

the longing

to hug my little daughter—

waiting for next visitation day

my longing

to belong to an another world—

a sparrow's nest

a bird on my windowsill—

my longing

to fly in the vast blue sky

Swallows

blind date

new bird

on the wire

two birds flit

from tree to tree;

home shopping

getting takeout

while his wife watches the kids

he gathers worms
