Learning to fly
Tom Petty
in dungarees
Learning to fly
John Coltrane
in reverie
Learning to fly
Johnny Rotten
in recovery
That Bird can fly
Charlie Parker
with mastery

Standing
still
In the suburbs
Still
standing
In the suburbs
Still
can’t stand
The suburbs
Journaling
The eagle stretches
its claw
Journaling
Toy blocks scattered across
the floor
Higher education
Monkeys
in a tree
The fence
and the car
Border guards
Hillside home’s
infinity pool
View that breeze
Lighthouse
Moonrise
over the bay
Wandering monks
Hounds sniff out
truffles in the forest
The line
between sea
and sand
The line
between sea
and sky
The lines
between the rolling
waves
A spray
of sea leaps
and falls
Peeling
hot peppers
The last time we cooked
Peeling
hot peppers
Rinsed our hands clean
