Being As We Are



A day moves on,

Everything being as it is,

Aphids drinking goldenrod,

A crash in the corn is the deer,

Grinnies planting oaks among the ferns,

The barred owl calling in the vale,


A man awaiting sleep

In the late haunted dark,

Still expecting more,

Listening to an absence

That inspires verse,

Coyotes yipping and howling.


In a dream he felt her touch,

In jewelled morning fields

All of it seemed real.
