Underfoot
May 21 2024
The potholes have turned into pools
from the heavy rain.
Under a full moon
and far from artificial light
they glitter enticingly,
precious jewels
scattered
on the long gravel driveway
in the unearthly gloss.
There is found beauty everywhere.
Even muddy water
and badly graded lanes
trashed by freeze and thaw
have moments of grace.
No need to look up
or walk a straight line.
Just take care
to keep your feet dry
when it unexpectedly strikes.
