There are things to see -- if you only look
Like lichens.
Sometimes you have to look at the small things.
Such color, such texture!

A Triptych of Tanka About Running
June 8 2013
I.
Hot red rubber track,
Four hundred meter repeats.
Best part of my run --
In suddenly clear focus:
A lizard on the sidewalk.
II.
On a predawn run,
Against the luminous sky:
An osprey hunting,
One wheeling white pelican,
A black line of cormorants.
III.
Cracked adobe trail,
Doing some miles in the hills.
Highlight of the run:
Up in the wind on the ridge,
Luminous stalks of dry grass.
[Tanka is a form of poetry that originated in Japan, in which the lines are arranged with a set number of syllables, in the form 5, 7, 5, 7, 7.]
