MICHAEL DALEY ~

 

From what I have read of

Michael Daley's work

I believe

Romance With the Unexpected

may be his best

— it sustains

Walking To The Barn



Walking to the barn

in the cold blue twilight

of this wintry day;

the water bucket steaming

to make warm mash for our toothless horse.

The horse is older;

the bucket heavier with the passing years.

We duck beneath the breeze-supple branches

of a young cedar seeking the

open light of the trail.

Its green brushes us as we pass,

Mall stops and whispers,

"To be touched by a tree is a blessing."
