I knew a little leaper
trapped him with my headlights
those snow shoe feet kicking
tirelessly
at my high beams
until the fellow realized
straight wasn’t the only way
and he whipped his body left
around the width of a ponderosa
and out into the night.
Later
the moon rose and poured blue light in through
the window I use for star gazing
and I thought I saw the forest shift
a little further towards the white of winter
the endless cold.
Love it!! He’s adorable!
i feel the shift.
and i hear the music of the leaper….
I really love your little leaper….it has just the right stretch to his body and spring in his heart x
