what once was utility,
is now futility.
silos made clownish,
smiles on silver panels,
with a missing tooth.
empty inside,
weeping rust,
and passing dust.

well grasshopper,
you’ve got yourself,
in a bit of a pickle.

on the transparent surface,
of my car window.
your determination,

one gust too strong,
you’ve left our slipstream,
65 was past your grip strength.
Did you survive,
this blustery trip,
this windy ride and tumbling lift?
oh.

Falling, Fall and Fell
For my daughters.
The first was a feeling
of falling in the air,
with nothing to catch me,
but her steady stare.
The second was a season,
brisk and colorful,
mischievous and shifty,
like weather in the Fall.
The third had all of me,
completely wrapped about,
all she asks I give,
my love completely fell.

on the tip of our toes.

on the top of our hands.
We built with machines,
on the bottom of our seat.

with books and things scattered about.
Piles of papers, crayons and pens,
colors painted on hallway walls.
There is a place, we call the wild,
with roots and branches scattered about.
Piles of leaves, dirt and weeds,
colors thrown on red dirt trails.
