HEAVEN LAKE ( 25 ) ~









An Answer To 
My Problems




=


CUT

WOOD








Turn Around






You can live in fear

that’s all there seems to be

newspaper to television screen

even people’s faces on the street



stop your car by the side of the road

get out and walk into the field

sit there, be there, your back to the road

everyone will think you are crazy



you are crazy

now that that is settled

sit there until the field takes you

then the trees







False Idols






we brought apples on the trip

and never ate the apples on the trip



nothing like an apple








Buddy






Tonight while sitting on the

can



the little kitten we saved from

starving and freezing to death



is a month now with us

and 12 weeks old



and as I sat there he crawled

without hesitation into my



pulled down pants

a little pocket of



kitten, and no one but no one

would think of doing this



but him







The Sort Of World I Like






I’m on the roof today cleaning the chimney

Without a sound a bicyclist floats by on the

Dirt road along the river and spots me and

Shouts, “Your house looks great!”


I’ve never seen her before

I look twice to make sure I haven’t

Nope

Don’t know her


But she’s happy
