they put us in
cages
they said
it was our only
hope

for the commander
on the side of the road an eagle stands beside its mate
all things mourn
in the clear sky above the ridge
no tears
we had our marching orders
yet
we strayed

at dusk
where the drive goes down to the barn
and there are horses
loafing in the fading light
an owl listens
on a post to the voles
in the meadow where the drive
goes down to the barn
and there are horses

mourning
underneath where the snow leaves
bare the root
and the soil crumbles, small rocks
cascade
shelter up in the crook,
the dry darkness
the memory of years spent
pushes against what
was never there
thinking about shelter: what constitutes it, what it means and hearing of a friend's loss.
what defines us and where we seek that definition...

fragment
late august rustling
ragged winged coppers flutter in a yellow sea of buckwheat
the old dog needs more
and the young one
doesn't know

peace language
imagine the letter 'k'
in the middle of the road
a girl raises her arms
for peace
alone
in the middle of the road
a girl raises her arms
for peace
alone

dream trail relic
in the long night of dreams
i did not know you
yet
you stood in the shadows
a whisper
in the long night there
was one dream in which i knew you
in the long night of one dream
you did not know me
in the dream of the long night
no owls cried out
no coyotes
in the distance
in the long night of the dream
you slept
and in the morning
and in the morning
you walked away
