lachez-prise

far off

near silver hills

other lives roule

   en dimanche. steps taken

by cliff-framed dramatic rills.

     facebook may hint

        at emotional content…

  god

     what was her name?

       who

   shared with her? who

  is back from seeing this user’s

real content.    traversing

  paths with animals

      & children

  under a blue windless provence sun sky.  

was

a thought for an appropriate emoji? photos

& memories collide. disintegrate

in loves’ cloudless dumb cry. hands

    welcome wrinkles

    not fingers entwined

  run softly

    by nail

  skinned

bark drying beneath another new moon

    another hill,

an other life

          stolen

from under the ever-cycling sun.
