soft as a snowflake
whispers of june -
and the buzz on the line
cicadas befriend -placeholder
ask me of rivers
and mountains retreating -
nights filled with story
of places we’ve been

still as the now
to eternity walking -
in beat up old boots
the color of hay
reasons to linger
for the wait of hereafter -
will stars in your eyes
steal my leaving
away

whiskey and wishes
three kinds of favor -
when wrapped in the warmth
of forever somewhere
sweetest refrain
for the coming back only
if ever I would -
was for wonder
to share

hunters and sisters
the universe listens -
wilderness swirls
in freckles of light
ripples of whatever truth
we are making -
rolls ‘neath the gate
in search of the night
