this morning’s herd of

this morning’s herd of
deer pranced through the backyard a
blur, only the buck

paused, looked back once to check that
no one had been left behind

no, we will never

no, we will never
recover the summer of
2021 –

autumn drags us kicking and
screaming into winter, a blur

chasing the sun west-

life becomes a blur

a blur – before,

in a kind

perhaps you and i
are newly crossing into

even a blur
pauses for someone
to take notice,

years later, some

years later, some
details are crystal
clear, even if the
larger impressions have
blurred, disappeared

will disappear, but perhaps
the gold, perhaps your
fingers will be
a reminder

extension of
myself, allowing
you to catch
brief flashes of
me, unprepared,
susceptible,
an obvious blur

the boundaries,
not picking up
where we
left off. the
side effect of
yes
is weathering
the losses
that prefer to
cling to clarity
