Under Your Feet

Under my sky is under your feetfootprints
Six foot under just out of my reach
Once in a while falls through a cat’s turd
You see it is food for our fat birds

  2. Interesting poem…where did the cat turds come from!? Is this the universe telling me its time to change the litter?

    This piece leaves me a bit disoriented…reminds me of a dream Carl Jung had as a boy…he wrote about it in “Myths,Symbols,and Dreams”…such disorientation usually triggers something remarkable later…i hope.

    Nice shot!
