today
(the word on paper
looks too grand
as if it were forever)
today:
lime-green towel
drying on the line,
voices and laughter
over that wall
like rose petals fall
an inch-worm on hot stone
frantic, then still
(and then for no reason
I remembered him)
yet today
is just a day
like any other
rose petals fall
