blue shirt........................The water glowed
soft fur...........................in the
early morning sun. I picked my way
warm milk......................
across the rocks, holding my coffee in
a once white ceramic mug
the sound of water.........
Gunter's dog Browser and my cat, a subtle
tabby called
rain................................
variously Wink or Winsock followed behind me
cold water...................... jostling
each other at the edge of the stream.
blood stains.................... brown grass on the hills... a flowered dress.............. a circle of purple hyacinths................. sleep............................... background noise............ low flying planes............. brass fixtures............... the smell of green grass.... warm sun......................... a red front door................ cold cereal........................ working............................ surrounded by ancient computers.................... a white shirt....................... making love...................... the children laughing.......... blue jeans......................... potato soup...................... never know why............... nausea.............................. footprints.......................... unwashed windows........... a dark corner.................... the pine trees overhead...... walking............................. riding................................ the horizon........................
