Something Human

Afield in a flow

of January air and January light

practicing zazen

in a wild imperative of peace

I felt your hand on my shoulder

lightly and warm

so sure it was you I almost spoke

and maybe I did

maybe the echo in the woods

was my own

my own wild cry

of a gregarious animal

too long separated from being loved.
