The way of the will
amber shades peeling
winks from grass tips
dirt paths enshrouded in aftermaths
reveal momentum unfolding memories
epiphanies found in the cracks
of dry earth
in the cracks of dried hopes
in the cracks of firm wonders
in the cracks of doubts and delays
in the cracks of what ifs and what stays
I roll
and roll
and roll past thens and nows
my bicycle wheels lollygagging
in sync with the old
willow tree branches in the breeze
‘tis my grandfather’s breath
when riding the wagon
- the reins, simply decorative -
riding back
from the field at sunset,
no earlier and
no later
