autumn wind
only part
ing my lips

autumn with you
autumn without you
autumn

Marlene

rite
march 17 1979

layer
on layer
of rock
a cavity holds
the full moon

river
passes over moss
into sudden darkness

within the cave
moist odor
of a forgotten ritual

moon gazing
for a moment
i change my name

leaf mold
1976

leaf mold:
(into it
i smell)

stacked
by rain
and millipedes

deer droppings
(years of deer)
above an arrowhead

red eft crawling
in and out
of chestnut dirt

a mushroom pushes
through!
returns . . .
