the sound of water....................
Browser's empty dish remained on the mat out of control...........................beside Winsock's. in the clearing ...........................Gunter's hat still hung on a hook on the door. across the river ......................Although almost everything else that he owned was gone. cold water...................... blood stains.................... against the wall........ brown grass on the hills...... a flowered dress.............. a glass of beer................. sleep.............................. low flying planes............ every pebble glistened............... the evening sunlit leaves the smell of green grass.... warm sun......................... a red front door................ cold cereal........................ working............................ to the shores of Tripoli.................... 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........................ |
