On a cold morning
with thoughts scampering
in and through, words formed
and then forgotten,
Luna and I walked
and mused, then stopped and
paid attention. We
saw poetry on a
twig, in frost-covered
grass, and flashing off
a mallard’s green head.
We heard it in the
bird song, and sniffed it
in the sharp, clean air.
