ant picnic

ant
hill

climbs
into the

dusty orange sky

we bring chocolate for dipping

lovers

deeply driven roots
caress the soil’s promise
spring flowers

where the caterpillars are realities

thought forms chrysalis
non-thought yields transformation
writing gives flight

long journey

the sky rests
upon the earth
in a pond

to wife and dog

imperceptibly
we begin to look
alike

lehigh

a small smooth rock
holds on beneath the river
it once diverted

new year new year new year…

two thousand seven
another second goes by
for these mountains

against a grey sky

the last leaf holds on
brown and brittle it waves
losing small pieces

water gap

the mountain curves down
to cup the stream in bedrock -
eternal playmates
