Square patch of blue

For Ali - a true friend.

Layers of air,

Strata of space

In that square patch of blue.

Chalk lines of contrails

Gradually smudged by invisible zephyrs.

Flashes of swift silver

Strike the eye, then bank, then gone.

Hunched old fisherman

Lumbering unencumbered from pool to pool.

Wing crack, explosion

Then glide serenely across the view.

Pollen gatherer, busy

Humming through the gold-dusted forest.

Almost there, lady larva

Making her endless terra cotta rounds.

Foundation level, friendship

Staring up at the underside of floral brilliance.

Sharing a caffeine-laden (slightly skuzzy) thought-free moment

(We have the time and space)

On the balcony of that square patch of blue.

(Mate!)
