Near-Sighted

My eyes see you 

inches from me

my heart feels

you’re

a marathon away.

Morning Shadows

Laughing Hyena? Bullet Ant? Paper Wasp? Western Diamondback? American Alligator, yes, that's it, alligator!

Then the sun rises revealing a house finch flexing his wings. I’ve defeated myself before the day begins.
