sunflower clearing for our home exclusion zone
sweat out the metals by the fire, it would be wise
forest before us can provide
acorn and nettle, dandelion
ain't hard to find
digging tubers, hunting hogs with the dogs
we'll miss our comforts, but we'll survive
or try
dandelion
can we be tender? are we too hardened by our time?
who among us, unafraid to die, dare to divine
a sun sign through canopy blinds
flowers on the vine
firelight flight of the mind, an ochre hand print on cave lime
with dark and time to enshrine

Hiding Place

as a child, where did you go to hide your precious things
souvenir pennies, plastic diamond rings
where are they now? precious as they were
you have forgotten why you kept them safely there
memory dims in you. dies, or is it killed
to be stashed in some small place for dust alone to fill
sleeping on your tongue the names of all your mothers
the memories that you share still all but unrecovered
the part of you that's still there, in your hiding place
you're not the one who made it, this hiding place
you feel as you reach in
a thrill inside you
a chill behind
by the woodpile find a jack knife in the clover
its past mystery you have now taken over
you hear a laughing bird from in the brush, you are alone
the chill you feel again a loving touch you've always known
turn about yourself in the innocent air
run to your hiding place
