off in the near distance
it moves slowly
up and down
hiding behind houses
forward and backward
depending upon currents and time,
closer and closer
it approaches
and my gaze feasts
on its bright colors,
wondering how it might be
in the basket as it
hovers overhead on some
skyward journey aimlessly
never realizing who
might be watching
and following
its progress
across the gentle blue sky,
and upon looking up
it is gone...
