Stellar

Stellar

Starting with a morning chill,

a shiver,

the not so numb feeling

of teeth chattering

like passing train cars,

the frozen fear

of a complicated life.

Stellar;

abruption in the face of angst.

The passer by

overly concerned,

“how do I ignore

this situation?”

Hesitation.

“without seeming

to do so.”

And a blue bird escapes

through an even bluer sky.

A moment of trepidation.

A situation better suited;

smiling down the drain,

disappearing,

with the dirty dishwater.
