August 17: Dedicated to Mama on her 105th birthday

Yowza
What a sky tonight! 
Solo distant 5k 
such weird changing cloud formations
a little rumbling far off 
had me scrambling homeward
but just as suddenly it quieted
followed at near dark 
by some distinct and distant 
flickerings on the horizon 
I was almost run down by a pair of deer 
in the middle of suburban dusk 
Dedicated to my mama on what would be her 105th birthday 
It still IS her 105th birthday
even if she isn't here right now
