Prints on a Sidewalk

Pigeon feet beside
Two tiny soles:
Befriending
The dove, a child
grasps, stepping
In wet cement.
Till it flies.
And he remembers
Dinner at six.
Never knowing
The past pursuit is now
All the while
Caught.

You’ve given me a picture of my life.
After clumsy pursuits, I stare after unattainable objects and am troubled with the fear that my life’s hunts are in vain. Little do I appreciate the imprints of my cemented loafers in the soft, moment-catching surfaces of time. Little do I remember what those pursuits might mean to the onlooker and to the Observer of all Time.

Letting the noise of my thoughts travel to you.
