The Clarity of a Summer Stroll

 



The sureness of when
shatters daydreams
when hastily forgotten 
by the distraction
of a pebble in the sandal.

Reaching for the strap,
piercing quartz falls
from plastic and brass
as if a monster
wants to devour it.

Bending over 
ungraciously highlights
a flaw is overwhelming
a summer stroll.
