I was thinking about
time, skipped forward like
a step you knew was there
until it wasn't
throw your face toward the shape
of a smile
hopeful gestures at genuine emotion
sometimes this is what
we get
a moment, a step
a tree in bloom, flowers falling
before my face
held in place
a snapshot smile
maybe this is grace
Notes: The prompt today was the emulate the writing of the poet Kay Ryan, those short lines and inner rhymes and all that good stuff. I love a short line but I'm bad at rhyming so here we are. I did my best! I'm already four days behind so honestly I'm just trying to bang some stuff out to get caught up.
