Sofly, barely noticeable, a susurrus blew through
Impinging a feather touch upon ear canal
Leaning in, ear cocked to the night breeze
Enveloping a whisper of the floating dandelion
Nightfall past, dawn approaches
Cheetah licks dew from a moistened paw
Empty desert slowly awakens

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
