Above Ground










delightful sounds fill
the Spring morning,
pushing through the
leafless trees like wind on
a westerly journey going
nowhere in particular;
propped open doors allow
caged pets a tentative trek
out onto the back deck
with an eye on their return
in case it all turns sour;
dogs bark at the coffee
fumes they smell and
lift their legs on a nearby
tree as they prowl
unattended...  not really
caring they soon will be caught;
the acceleration of vehicles
and the rumbling of bikes
disturbs our silence and ruins
the mood of a slow starting day.
