Walking Through Change
At first,
I walked quickly,
Puffing out breath on the cooling air
Grit and pavement under foot.
Trustworthy,
Unlovely.
Even as I walked the short, familiar path,
I could watch the crystals forming,
Quick glints on the black backdrop
of pavement.
Copious as sand,
Whimsical and treacherous
As fairy dust.
Under foot,
Tiny, shifts and slides,
No telling in which direction.
Weight, balance and walk change
Exploring,
New gravity on a different world
Taking the risk
Of walking on diamonds,
New-born in the cold
Winter dark.
