off the path…
we pause to inspect
the fallen tree
where the crack
in the tree
brought it down

if we looked together
at this little vignette
and said nothing at all
might it bring us closer
and give us peace of mind?
forest floor
the housekeeping
of it all

getting away
from it all
to find some distance
from the cost of living
that keeps going up…
‘remember what the dormouse said…
feed your head’

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