a flicker

they are fading fast as the lazy sun starts getting up late


an outdoor chess match, mid-move


brimming with flight potential a bird
unaware he's already been caught
by a camera


sudden muted light on stream
like a glimpse in passing of a face recognized
a pause to try to identify
the flicker of familiarity


with enough open space and empty mind
the sky will find a way to align
that which is deemed humourous
