the fire
releases
the tears
the wood
keeps held
inside
herself.

the tears
are the only way
she knows
god
is still
here.
| Dead tree and sky, on the path to my hermitage. |
| The tears she holds inside herself. |
| Dusk outside my west window. |
| Playful feet, warm sand. |
| Sunday morning snowstorm. |
| Thirsty, playful mule deer. |
| Last evening sunset. |
