spring melt
bulldogs chewing snow
bicycle to trail
spring runoff
should we be skiing
or kayaking?
no need for a map
follow the show-shoe track
ski over post-holes
consolidation
of both snow and memory
on this fine spring day
summer temps
fuse pine-needles and debris
on snowy surface
birds sing
ponds fill
marmots scamper
pink algae
blotched on surface
inky stain on snow
way past college
yet traversing the same trail
not sure what has changed
airplane passing
glad we're here
and not there
no longer supple
the collagen in his back
still determined
pinprick corn snow hail
moleskin book
protects haiku
dirt layer on snow
like the lines of sweat
under that old shirt
swallowtails
and cabbage moths
evade camera
at 11200
short of breath
fresh from columbia
arrived in boulder in 93
at 31 years of age
on the first day of the world cup final
cheering for italy
in a game against brazil
luckily brazil won
she was still married at the time
11400
he dreams of costa rica
and future nature blog
conversation
as much a part of the landscape
as the scenery
time is
the changing
of relationships
a single word
to describe childhood:
compartment
awakening was
waking up from
compartmentalization
fat iridescent flies
diptera
mother of pearl reflection
an iceberg
reveals not the richness
lurking beneath the surface
Oh! sweet Babalyon
mine too shall disappear....but
today!....I garden!
keep on keeping on
don't be upset by changes
stop thought....and....go on.
just forgive it first
before you "do" anything
forgive...before hand
not for everyone?
it has limited value
by its own nature
drove by a junkyard
some of the cars were my age
humm!...interesting.
go past the body
to the minds eternal Love
rest There....forever
man in a wheelchair
our eyes met as I raced by
who!...is the crippled?
cars are like people
they change to hide what they do
just go down the road
theaters and fear
both are dark, both show movies
both...have exit signs!
