Day 2977, Day 2978a/b

Day 2977
trail’s close to frozen –
hard beneath my feet – but miles,
still fall behind me

= = = = = =

Day 2978a

where the river slowed,

the ice began appearing,

creeping from the shore

//

Day 2978b

though it didn’t last,

I will always be thankful

for the years we had

 

Day 2976

Day 2976

stood on the small stage,

watched the lyrics light up and

sang the Dead Milkmen

Day 2975

Day 2975

the landscape I knew

was obscured by the storm clouds,

and thus was transformed

Day 2974

Day 2974

think about what’s planned,

and what’s wanted – the dif’rence

between those two things

Day 2973

Day 2973

I steadied myself,

smoothly pressed the shutter,

and hoped for the best

Day 2972

Day 2972

stepped up on the branch,

edged out over the water,

reached the other side

Day 2970/day 2971

Day 2970
I saw the photos,
from past years, had to wonder
about the future.

Day 2971

hustling to set up,

the sun shone, but the breeze chilled,

a few pics – then DONE.

Day 2969

Day 2969

listened to the rain

falling through the trees, tapping

leaves while descending

Day 2968

Day 2968

we shuffled, shimmied,

passed by, came back, swung and dipped

under flashing lights
