The Zig-Zag Dance
Living on the skin
of a three dimensional ball
sketched on four dimensional paper,
fear is the
anti-particle of love.
Intensity, the
inverse-square of distance between us.
You let me in
but quietly back away.
I step lightly
into your nest.
We oscillate.
Animated Eye
From the way
the leaf flutters
it can be clinging
frantically to Summer;
or struggling to break
free from a stubborn branch.
My eye will not
include the wind.
