Then to the Knob

click to see a man on a walk



Then to the knob,

as the farmboys call it,

to look into the valley

where the creek runs

under blue haze,

the sun in my eyes,

the wind from the next ridge

luffing my shirt,

aware of my size

and my meaninglessness

in all things other than this,

my breathing in

and knowing it,

my breathing out

and knowing it;

myself,

my own master.
