The Saturdays, same path
                               

By Ann Gleeson and Mike Garofalo
Spring 2000

 

 

 

                moving conversations
                down gravel roadways ...
                crisscrossing ideas

 

                                Rolling along, light-headed
                                and alert, listening to our
                                breath amidst the sunny winds.

 

                 everyone smiling ...
                 warm clear day
                 Spring Fever

 

                                 Some days are better
                                 than others.  Today the earth
                                 shines back on the sun.

 

                 barefoot girls in the creekbed
                 laughing Winter away ...
                 red buds on bare black branches

 

                                Woodpeckers ate the snack
                                 shack.  Bugs are motivators.
                                 Nothing is negative.

 

                  a woodpecker's knock
                  cracks the quiet sky
                  Echoing off hardwoods

 

                                 I calculated my leap
                                 over the shallow grass-feathered
                                 ditch and took up middle ground.

 

                  One week later ...
                  Six Directions of Green,
                  Billions of leaf-buds.
