THINKING OF YOU




















I listen to the water’s song.
Feel its wetness, coldness,
rushing, gushing,
smoothing, cleansing
down streaming,
creating joy bubbles
of fizzing white lather.
Its sound – like static,
transmits repetitive
hhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuushshshshshshsh.
I drown
inside cavernous waves of nothing
and touch it.

I’m sitting on the balcony of a charming ski lodge.  There is a stream that runs right in front of my suite.  The view and the sound are mesmerizing.

I’ve run away from home for a few days to the ski valley in Taos, New Mexico.  I love it here.  The warm breeze is cooler than the hot breeze of the south, the mountains are green and luscious like something fresh you’d want in a salad.  And there’s nothing to do but enjoy the music.
