Two short poems: DISTANCE, ACROSS THE SKY

DISTANCE 

What is the definition
of distance between the tilled
and the unplowed field?

ACROSS THE SKY

Thirteen blackbirds
flying across the sky,
the sky.
Thirteen blackbirds
chasing a raven,
a raven,
across the sky.
Thirteen ways
to chase a raven
across the sky,
the sky.
