in search of the missing components
.............The face reflected
........................................in the
unframed square of eroded mirror glass
warm milk......................(suspended with crooked nails above a
yellowed sink)
the sound of water..........was a soft golden tan that was almost
indistinguishable
cold water.......................from the color of the observant eyes
deer appeared in the woods....................evenly set above a not
insignificant nose
brown grass on the hills... that revealed traces of a childhood
accident.
the whitecapped mountains..............................
a flowered dress..............Still watching the mirror image,
cold water......I brushed back my hair
his body...............
and tied it into a pony tail.
shimmering in the
moonlight............... the smell of
green grass....
warm sun.........................
a red front door................
cold cereal........................
come on across to the
Internet............................
soft fur
.....................a white shirt.......................
making love......................
the children laughing..........
blue jeans.........................
potato soup......................
footprints..........................
as the sun went down...........
a dark corner....................
the pine trees overhead......
walking.............................
riding................................
the horizon........................
