Day 29 of the April Poem a Day Challenge. Prompt: And suddenly______
FRIGHTENED AND SUDDENLY HOMELESS
she found herself in a clearing in a dark wood
trying to appreciate every aspect of her new condition:
sights and sounds, awareness of self.
Coyotes sang but kept their distance.
Owls sat vigil in the trees.
Mice scurried under leaves.
She lay on her belly, dropped into dust.
