cloud walk

this is how we get across—

 the days                                                                                   

when pink is a necessity

we meet for lunch and Susan’s taking pictures—

people celebrate . . .

what we don’t understand—

And make harbors safe

for smallest, delicate and evanescent thoughts—

we offer rest to friends. 

our pictures travel back and forth

in boats of willow wands                                                                                         

as we prepare what we will gather, what we’ll weave

to get ourselves across.
