On the Move
by
Francine Banwarth, Dubuque, Iowa
Mike Montreuil, Gloucester, Ontario
waking up cold—
night wind
through the pines
the cats huddled
against my legs
the acrobat falling
from the tightrope
lands on her feet
defying his age
the gray-haired rocker
struts his stuff
river ice thinning—
wild geese on the move
in my hand
the weight
of her wedding ring
