Friday Night Lights Project: Week #19

Saturday night is reaching full swing, but right now it’s time to check in with the lights of Friday… the brightest of the week. Well at least in the eyes of Ashley, Cindy & I!

**********

The dog is running between frisbee
and hand, the dark so round
and quiet one can hear
the whisper of rust.

And in the bay waves whinny
white as baby’s spit, as old men’s
hair, leaving you in the wake of a woman
who’s swept past on her way home:

a watermark of absence, a clinging hush.

This winter the crows avoided me.
They are now back on the power line

and look like they would enjoy cutting
off the horizon. I love them

up there scraping angled beaks against
electricity I imagine

being constantly converted
unaware of any endings.
