Imaginary Puddles

Fine differences in pavement

these steps of assurance, the concrete

beneath us and these puddles

full of sky

the excitements of memory

that which conditions motion to frame

scenery caught in glances of atmosphere

hung on the ground

portions of daylight refracted

these parts congruent mindfulness

Splashed patterns of spark

dissipated in the frame of a puddle

or reflected in the light within

these dust particles

shape formulate path

condition motion to stay in place

trees I could fit in my mind

are always actually moving

my feet are getting wet in imaginary puddles

this concrete beneath me sunken to the sky

in reflection
