58 Degrees

Blank pages stand
as a monument
to the grasshopper's summer
Even as she dies
she persists,
impatient to live

Luck with no effort
Blessed with no direction
A wanderer sufficed
to fall further
down the wandering path

Over peaks and out of ditches
She always finished last

And was she ever lost?
Was she coming up a step above,
with secret stolen moments
of transcendental love?

If I walk sideways
I may move gently enough
A soft movement of my wings
drying in the sun
