And if
you reach
over
to touch
whatever it is
you want to touch
if
ever
you get to the place
where you think you're
going (headed
in the right direction)
or
if you
stand right there
reaching over the hip
bone of the little hill
a breeze slight breeze
being all that you want
to touch really
so long
as the blaze of in-
tention
holds up
the fires lit red
on the smooth wet bark
of pine trees in the afternoon
when the clouds have broken
and the late rays of the sun
are touching
them.
To an Unknown Shore will be available in April 2013.
