at 7
I thought I was
so mature
at 17
being a hippie
was an awesome dream
and then
and then
and then
and then
and then . . .
and then today
I can’t figure out
how that “7”
got a zero at the end

ice crystals
glisten in the sun —
crunching across
the frozen lawn

And, v2, after reading on the internet that walking
on frozen grass actually breaks the tiny grass blades 😦

ice crystals
glisten in the sun —
walking far around
the frozen lawn
