earth note 704


the dog park
was a ghost town yesterday
the big oaks standing alone
facing each other
subdued in their own shadows
folding back the rush of high noon

filling water bowls
felt like good citizenship
self-serving
as it may have been

stark white stone
from the observatory
more historic than functional
newton still has his eye
on the apple
where the cross country trail
meets up

each for our own reasons
we take in the quiet
comfort and hold it
momentary as it is
