back home
the old truck comes to rest
in its ruts
Alaska, the Golden Gate,
Death Valley, Yellowstone
Glacier, Acadia, Wind Rivers
and then permanently parked
until yesterday….
’67 Chevy
the day I let it go
to a better life…

standing here
at this window, remembering mother
standing here
after Mother died
I caught her woodchuck
and let it go
at the cemetery

late day sun-
deep on the forest floor
a seedling
ghost dance
on the forest floor
Indian Pipes

wanting my old life
when I wanted
my present life
stirring the soup she made
as a cold rain falls outside
mid-stream
the stones are in
a balancing act
