a white shirt........................The dream was so vivid that I almost believed
soft fur...........................that the last time I had seen him
early in the morning......................we were sitting across from each other at a long table.
the sound of water .........I had offered to help with the cooking
rain.............and was methodically arranging the vegetables
the necessary information ......................when he appeared.
white pillows....The woman to my left was a photographer, and she began to talk to him.
brown grass on the hills...I nodded and kept on working with the vegetables.
a flowered dress.............. a glass of beer................. sleep............................... background noise............ low flying planes............. the daily in and out flow............... the smell of green grass.... hot sun......................... a red front door................ cold cereal........................ early morning light.................... a white shirt....................... making love...................... the children laughing.......... blue jeans......................... potato soup...................... his body............... the whitecapped mountains.............................. footprints.......................... unwashed windows........... a dark corner.................... the pine trees overhead...... walking............................. riding................................ the horizon........................
