THIS PLACE IN EVERY LIFE ~









THIS PLACE IN EVERY LIFE


 



A span of 20 feet —
 

Someone, but no
 

One’s around, once
 

Laid down these log
 

Poles and nailed the
 

Planks for what I balance
 

On and cross, and then
 

Turn and once again
 

Walk over, because I
 

Like the feeling, the
 

Mountain creek beneath
 

And leaves floating
 

The range of light
 

Now back across slowly
 

The last time
 

Finally into my direction

                                             


                                                                    for John Levy
