Poetry Friday: Distractions



DISTRACTIONS

Well.
Here I am.
Left behind
yet again.

I turned to watch the shadow of a cloud
pass over the riverbank
and when I turned back
the breadcrumbs had already been tossed.

Yesterday, I was noticing
the way a seed
swirled in the current
and suddenly my siblings were nowhere to be seen.

Look,
There's an ant
climbing the crest
of that bending blade of grass.
