Offing

The beauty of brackens acknowledges my presence
with a little jig. I smile back like one does to a natty
new arrival in the neighborhood. The emptiness in
those eyes summons me to shoal them with a fairing
of emollients. A poem isn’t a fable or folktale. Its
task is to temper with images and ideas that create
one’s fantasy or factuality: like those oeillades.
