Of the Night


  
Walked a mile from the house in the dark

through the field and the woods with no moon

though the paths were white shadowed snow,

geese i heard flying high above the gorge

following the creek and calling each to each,

a train i heard following the river past the ridge

calling every other atman wandering the night,

surely there were more, i mean, there you were and

there was i, but maybe that is all we need to know.
