capillaries of dirt

capillaries of dirt, of dust
of convenience
droplets coming together
becoming a river

pushed from the center
pulled to the margin
droplets coming together
becoming a river

the pathway etched
a canyon remaining
droplets coming together
becoming a river


new poem, January 14, 2014
“capillaries of dirt”
written about bus ride this morning
about the way the rain beads and runs
across the windshield,
shared with my English class
Katahdin Middle High School
