rapidly darkening
sky........................The childlike cries of the hyena
pack soft fur...........................carried across the river valley. warm milk.......................Winsock sat on a rock a few feet away the sound of water......... watching me with worried yellow eyes. rain................................ cold water......................
blood stains...................."Winsock, go home.
"Winsock go home get Gunter." brown grass on the hills.......... background noise............ low flying planes............. a knife with a black handle............... the smell of green grass.... warm sun......................... a red front door................ cold cereal........................ working............................ in a crowded notebook.................... a white shirt....................... making love...................... the children laughing.......... blue jeans......................... potato soup...................... the unbidden flood............... because I have never been there......... footprints.......................... unwashed windows........... a dark corner.................... the pine trees overhead...... walking............................. riding................................ the horizon........................ |
