my youth spent
gathering strength and solace
of friends near and far–
these short years later
losing them one by one
river of gold
flowing with and toward
the sun

the feeder-
the gift of flight visits
one by one
blue jay…
my day spent without
any scolding

willow sky…
how much there is
to let go
to look up
and see so far
beyond us…

the wind in the trees
reminds me
that what once was
so important
just passes by
layer
by layer
the water falls

the origami
of our relationship,
what can be seen
and what can’t,
these workings of the heart
the nature
of good fortune
in nature

she looks long
at the ocean,
that place she threw
a rock and
her bracelet too…
willow
my shelter
from the storm

many times
I’ve looked down
from the bridge…
the water taking me
somewhere beyond
at the entry
to Cornell, the bridge
over Cascadilla
