Grass and Shadows
grass on shoes
symmetry in body-shadows
upon soil hungry for movement
black outlines
to epitomized tenancyfrom dark silhouettes
a spiritual dance
tree branches in fluid motion
form a totem
without name or preceptbreath/ mood/ sound
meaningless
to ground seeking encounters
the grunt of wheels on tarmac
mower blades slashing the sununsealed speech stirs open spaces
crows caw to catch the air
but it's the grass on shoes
shadows contracting ground
that nails the soul
