I study my hands
as if they might hold
something
I should know

once upon a time

got all the traffic…
and now gets much
less…

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…

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
milkweed
on one plant
from bud to bloom…
