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

NOTEBOOK: NEW MEXICO

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.

POET'S CHOICE
Some stay with
darkness and some
go towards light,
he says, choosing
morning or
keeping to night.
I hold with twilight.
