before the last step down
to the living room
her rebuke
the reflection
of the mental health building

how ironic
coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it all go…
in the eye
of the beholder
wabi sabi

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…

another fallen leaf
magnifying my sense
being here now
the rain
keeps falling
on itself

wanting my old life
when I wanted
my present life
the work
in this life
is never over…

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
