Waiting
For My Daughter
Moon speckles between
Interlacing leaves or
Branch arms hugging
And defying octagon
Or any geometry
Paradigm which
Allows such things
As surfboards, swordfish,
And nuclear
Bombs. Sitting
In verdure or
Obtuseland
To be sure.
Some
Nights watching
Raccoons.
Days encrypted
By tea and a
Grandma's chatter.
I'm waiting
For my
Daughter.
