new leaves hotbot green...................I stepped out of the woods
soft fur...........................into the meadow
warm milk.........................(world readable
the sound of water.........but not world
writable,
new leaves hotbot green
.............as if a line had been drawn that the
surrounding trees
cold water......................could not cross)
blood stains...................
brown grass on the hills...White butterflies hovered over the
grass,
a flowered dress..............
a grove of redwoods................
sleep...............................
a white frosted birthday cake...............
..........................................and at night, trailing their families,
the smell of green grass....the raccoons danced across the meadow to
the stream.
warm sun.........................
the doorway at dinnertime................
where the water meets the
sand........................
working............................
making things....................
blue shirt.......................
making love......................
the children laughing..........
blue jeans.........................
never know why...............
on the meadow above the creek
.................
footprints..........................
unwashed windows...........
a dark corner....................
the pine trees overhead......
walking.............................
riding................................
the horizon.......................
