The Place I Want to Get Back To
is where in the pinewoods in the moments between
the darkness
and first light two deer came walking down the hill
and when they saw me
psst...
they said to each other, okay, this one is okay, let’s see who she is
and why she is sitting
On the ground, like that, so quiet, as if asleep, or in a dream,
but, anyway, harmless;
psst...
and so they came on their slender legs and gazed upon me
not unlike the way
I go out to the dunes and look and look and look into the faces of the flowers;
and then one of them leaned forward
psst...
and nuzzled my hand, and what can my life bring to me that could exceed that brief moment?
For twenty years
I have gone every day to the same woods, not waiting, exactly, just lingering. Such gifts, bestowed,
can’t be repeated.
psst...
If you want to talk about this come to visit. I live in the house near the corner, which I have named
Gratitude.

The Fist
There are dayswhen the sun goes downlike a fist,though of course
if you see anything in the heavensin this wayyou had better get
psst...
your eyes checkedor, better still,your diminished spirit.The heavens
have no fist,or wouldn’t they have been shaking itfor a thousand years now,
psst...
and evenlonger than that,at the dull, brutishways of mankind -
heaven’s owncreation?Instead: such patience!Such willingness
psst...
to let us continue!To hear,little by little,the voices -
only, so far, in pockets of the world -suggestingthe possibilities
psst...
of peace?Keep looking.Behold, how the fist openswith invitation.
