A Froggy Smile
Evening sky clouds purple and red over blue
softly marking the sun with a froggy smile
The straight blue mouth above is silent now
as if all has been said when planes have left
this wet land for those they went
And so each sight shifts in a similar way
drifting and gliding into whatever dusk
And while the light is lowered more
it seems the dark of night
is slowly shutting gaps or bridging
distance
