LIFE IS SHORT

Life is short. There is
only now. And now,
the jacaranda blooms

in fresh mountain mists and foggy vistas
of blues, and greens and yellows of silky oaks;
a vibrant blue wren flirts, bangs

robotic against glass windows,
attracted only by self
reflections

needing confrontation to progress,
to comprehend, perhaps, miraculously,
seduce
the dancing other.
