blue sky-

nothing constructive

hopping
a freight with me
two runaways
from Los Mochis

Mexico 1978-freight hopping kids near Guadalajara

the moon on the water

not sure who
is more shy,
but a banana
for each one
for the photo

on the way
to the well

another day
avoiding it

follow the contours
around the mountain

a measure

of the night’s cold

our cat’s affection

ready to leave
Squirrel cat poses
next to my pack

how ironic
coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it all go…

mountain ridge
the clouds too
come and go…
