A bird I don't see bc I'm following its shadow - Rachael Wolfe

A bird I don't see bc I'm following its shadow - Rachael Wolfe (Lincoln, Nebraska)

Loon river

This makes that version

Filled with longing

Robins run across my roof

The wind picks up

And at this time of morning

Everything looks like vacation

The flower has shifted

To face me

The dogs are hanging out

This is a calm poem

Featuring periodic bursts of wind

This is the first nice morning

After the heat wave

My friend of Years is about to give birth

Another one carries a poppyseed

I’m surrounded by mothers

I dream I’m in bed

Reading a book with mine
