duck – Leaf And Twig

Self Conscious

left
is my best
side

the mallard and heron
embrace water
from above and below

room for all
the hurried arrival
the leisurely stroll

gliding through
the light and shadow
of life on life’s terms

the colors
wrap around us
we are held
in heaven’s embrace

gentle look
from a wild friend
all otherness expunged

gloat worthy primping
much more than being clean
this attention to attractiveness

know thyself
and love thyself
and everywhere is home

pretty is
as
pretty does

in a silent world
where the self is heard
motion is effortless

It’s all in the posture.
Trust me. Just hold steady.
The ladies will float right on up to you.
