South of Clines Corner

While I have not
seen every place,

every place I've seen
is not at all this place

I'm seeing, and I have
not yet seen all of it.

NEAR DURIN 


from
NOTEBOOK: NEW MEXICO
January, 2016

Near Durin

Great sweeping curve,
a mile long train,

five engines and mostly
Chinese containers.

Out here, where there's
little else, only me

and ravens. Trickster knows
what trickster knows.

DON'T APOLOGIZE 




Don't apologize for the weather,
he said. I don't really know a place

until I've seen it in the rain.

AFTER COLD MOUNTAIN #83 



This monk's robe --
neither sheer

nor twilled; not
red, not purple.

A summer shirt;
a winter shawl.

Always only
this same plain coat.

ORANGE 


ORANGE

of the monarch.
Summer sun.

These milkweed
blossoms.

Poet's Choice 


POET'S CHOICE

Some stay with
darkness and some
go towards light,

he says, choosing
morning or
keeping to night.

I hold with twilight.
