clear
cold water
so pure
you wouldn’t
even see it
if the sun’s rays
weren’t bent
finding their way
to the rocky bottom
 
it’s like liquid air
flowing over rocks
through the
chasms
 
second after second
minute after minute
hour after hour
day after day
year after year
 
you could dive into it
and disappear
if it wasn’t so cold

greyhound graveyard
 
early morning
grey sky
train#1 The Canadian
westward bound an hour
past the Peg
 
slowly, reverently
we pass a field
littered with buses
 
windshields shattered
their eyes poked out
 
others
resting on their sides
like roadkill
 
wheels in the air
going nowhere
 
young trees have rooted
gaining the upper hand
 
shooting branches through
side windows
 
red, white, and blue paint
behind the leaves
 
so this is the place
where
the greyhounds go to die
 
I never knew

    I started my "Poem-A-Day" writing exercise back in 2010. It was a way to get into the habit of writing everyday.  It took awhile but once I got into it I really enjoyed the process.  I took a break in 2023 to work on getting "Carbon Copy" into the wild. I also wanted to re-read my poem-a-day scribblings to see if there were any unpolished gems amongst the rubble.  My plan is to post one per week in my Blog.  Find "Carbon Copy" at:
