I sat down in dejection
on a rock by the road
to watch others go by
and realized
that I had sat down by another,
who, surprised and encouraged,
got up and went on,
cheering me up some.

savage mushroom,
golden, proud rising
from loose black earth;
pale stalk, sponge,
delicate and defiant.
I saw a raindrop hang
from a second story rooftop.
as I watched it drop,
I saw the face of a little girl
in one of the second story windows.
when I looked up again,
she wasn’t there.
I’m sure she never was.
