Small Bouquet of Camping Poems

hello friends, back from a glorious few days of being unplugged … here are a few poems from the last five days. 

 

 

 

falling asleep beside the stream

it carries away

the day, the years

 

 

*

 

whatever a partial moon means—

cradling it in my hands

to give to you

 

*

 

inviting Audrey Hepburn

for pancakes and tea—

she arrives with two tiaras

 

*

 

familiar path—

a year later

this new woman walks it

 

*

 

it takes four days

before my hands open enough

to let in the world

 

*

 

riding our bikes

on the old dirt road—

baptized in scent of pine

 

*

 

sitting on a rock

long enough

no one feels like an enemy

 

*

 

beside the path

one ripe wild raspberry—

walking through its door
