Conversation
Three old friends discuss
nothing much in the sun while
unsaid things aren't said.

Deep Fear
The whole childlike fear
of swimming through water that's
cold enough to kill.

Cold Mountain Stream
The water, cold cold,
leaves from my naked body
to the hot dry sun.

Still Tired
I wake up, still tired,
tides of sad resignation
join me there in bed.

Fire
Hissing, flickering,
the glowing fire barely warms
what's in front of it.

The Strange Dance
An old friend in town
brings the strange dance--who I was
with who I've just been.

Dark Night
In the deep dark night
we can't see past our torches
or hear past our songs.

00:47 | permalink


Driving
The sweet aloneness
of daytime highway driving--
music then silence.

00:43 | permalink


Bare Feet
It hurts a little,
my tender bare feet jumping
rough rock to rough rock.
