a white shirt...................Straight-trunked red woods
overwhelmed the narrow path,
soft fur...........................obliterating the sun with
dense blackgreen branches.
warm milk......................Under my feet, the pine needles were
wet.
the sound of water.........I walked slowly,
rain................................remembering champagne,
........................................a newly
mowed green lawn.........................
a white frosted birthday cake......................the music that we that we danced to
a white lace dress....................the afternoon of my first
wedding.
brown grass on the hills..................
.................The loud muddy creek in the gully below my path
flowing too fast..........................
was flowing too fast.
white wine.................
sleep...............................
silver spoons............
low flying planes.............
intermittent pain...............
the smell of green grass....
warm sun.........................
a red front door................
I too am returning from Zirma........................
working............................
making things....................
with intertwining melodies.........................
making love......................
the children laughing..........
blue jeans.........................
potato soup......................
unwashed windows...........
pine trees......
walking.............................
riding................................
the horizon........................
