Three Poems by A.J. Huffman


Two Perfect Prints

The sand echoed with the stamp of takeoff.  Success
driven deep into the grains.  I paused to capture
the moment (as if such freedom could ever be
contained).  Taking in the light, the subtle tones
of the breeze and the resonating chitter of wings
both flighted and still
fighting, I found myself
frozen.  In that mysterious moment
I was another world
of motion and momentum.  Building
bridges with my eyes to cloud-filled dream worlds
raining silver lined gowns.  And I wrapped
myself in its folds.  Stepping
forward, finally, with the eye-opening will to ripple
[inside] my own wake.



Snail Sits

on a rusting grill.
He is not searching
for remnants of food,
forgone.  Rather, he is reflecting
on the day’s travels, a lifetime
in inches, as the moon showers
his shell in cool white
light.



Not All Wings Are Wax

Eagle.
Balding royal
attains mythic stature.
Icarus’ mimic, soaring
for sun.
