Poem Category: the distance

the distance
to a horizon
from a horizon

mountain light
the distance
around its aura

the distance
a tumbleweed has
in leaving

in her new feathers
the distance
from the edge of the nest

in Creation
the distance
to perfect an eagle

her gate opens
the distance
to grandma’s strawberries

an eagle dives
the distance
to perfect kills and eat

bird’s eggs
the distance
a snake will climb

an old flame
the distance
she talks about us

afternoon winds
the distance
our sunflowers bend
