It's Still Life

 
Three Thoughts on a Saturday Afternoon

I.
As seen from
Those folds and rolls

Of clouds that skate
The sky, a slate puzzle

Fitted and tucked
Jigged and jointed

Like words strung
Into long sentences

Into a bridge from
This horizon to where,

I am your audience.

[inspired by dVerse “Solstice Couplets” and Red Wolf Prompt #409 ]

 
II.
Blue. Maroon. Black. White. White. Red brake lights and a speed camera. A sign: imagination ahead.

 
III.
Long as a line, this flight
Over maps. Over mountains
And plains. Over cities
And farms. All too often,
Personal stories have
No narrative voice.
