May I Show You Where I've Been?














There is a space for new words, but this may not be it.






Words recalled and revisited make their own spaces.


Words revisited,
places seen.
Water talking through the trees
and into lost places
history last knew.
Draw a line to the penny moon.
Watch dusk settle
         and reshape the earth
         and all this while
         spring is peering at us,
         brokering
         fresh traditions
         and inducements
                           to go forward 
     not back
     to where we are known.
