reclaiming
some lost territory
from my childhood
the imprint of pebbles
on the soles of my feet
I am glad I will not be young in a future without wilderness.
~ Aldo Leopold
November 6, 1951
do you remember
trudging through the snow
when november
turned into a blizzard
even trailblazers get lost
"From Russia With Love,"
a James Bond poster
in the antique shop...
it's then I realize that I'm older
than half the merchandise
built in 1883 the narrows covered bridge its lifespan stronger than any words I have to describe it
