Albatross

I hope you will understand my need 

to find a new migration route;

the old pattern is beyond restoration,

and add to that the fact   

that I could never find a place 

to land with all this freight.

Loose Weave

That hot air balloon basket 

is an illusion, a mirage of wistful thinking 

appliquéd to a shiny satellite 

reporting the morning weather.
