geese walking on ice
each careful, focused web-step…
echoes from my heart
—
through our big window
dreams of loving peacefulness
opening it wide
—
all of them, fallen
imaginary angels
prancing through my dreams
—
underneath these ribs
missing the presence of you
my heart pumping tears
—
the world ends somewhere
but not here nor today
kissing her again
—
behind shrubbery
howling like a pack of wolves
neighbors and I, laughing
—
this poem makes its stand
critiques my uncertainty,
and states, “I’m complete”
