10 Things Now

 


After two runs this week, I sat on a bench and recorded 10 things that I noticed.

Monday, Spring rock at 4:45

  1. Daffodils 8 or 9 inches in west facing bed. 

  2. Lenten roses blooming. 

  3. Kite flying dad with 2 primary colored kids. 

  4. Hey high in sky tracing due east with twin contrails. Fading parallel lines to south
  5. Sun warmth on neck
  6. Robins patrol across the grass
  7. American flagged wrapped around the pole. 
  8. Pine cones twenty feet up
  9. What’s left of the hydrangea blossoms shake listlessly
  10. Scaling squirrels on the trunk
  11. The wind wanes
  12. Yesterday a couple on a blanket in Bemis field. I’m picnic with warming blankets
Friday, Fullersburg Woods 4:58
  1. robin close to me on forest floor., patiently searching, head cocked Wingtips dropped
  2. incredible Starling and blackbird symphony. Stops when I’m Near and minutes later after I’m immobile on log. Picked up again. Crescendo. 

  3. lit up brown of remaining leaves on trees. (image above)
  4. In falling sunlight glint of aimless bugs fluttering winged bugs spider web filaments yards long
  5. The falling sun through forest somehow makes the forest seem hazy
  6. Green fuzz on forest floor
  7. Robin tossing leaves on forest floor like a cop tossing a jail cell mattress in a jail movie
  8. Alarmed Robin chi chi chi chi
  9. One brown leaf from above picked off from wind and falls down to forests floor
  10. Red wing blackbird trills
  11. Unknown birds fly across my field of vision and land on limbs
