Lunch Break Walk From one stepto the nextI move fromnot awaketoawake. From one breathto the nextI move fromempty and alonetofull and with. From one thoughtto the nextI move from“I have failed…”to“Such beauty!” Sitting in a Car in a Rural Indiana Parking Lot Wet wind,the sound of chainstriking flagpole.A lakeshore sound thoughno lake nearby.Rain swollen cloudsover Midwest soybean fieldsand flowering crabapples. Loosened white petals,like moths at dusk and snow.This, the season of both.Between storms,robins build a nest on an agitated bough.A dory in a gale.The unseeable shore.Each life, a small waveriding another wave.Departing as it arrives.Arriving as it departs.
