While planting bulbs
my wife unearths
a childhood cap gun of mine
I hold it
trying to grasp back then
galls…
the very gall
of them!

the needle
holding true
season after season
exactly as it was between us
long ago…
so many things
left to the sweep
of time
the last pressure
setting frozen
for all time…

back home
the old truck comes to rest
in its ruts
wind running
through the field
around the old truck

the hypnotist
describes her technique
sound of the stream
Van Natta’s dam
water flowing by
the old hydro plant…

could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace
the way
a tree will absorb
a thing
