It has been several weeks since my last contribution--I send my apologies to the scores of disappointed readers. I have not written much lately, but am currently working on a different frontier of mythology. Those of you who know: you know. That particular piece, however, is not at this time suitable for public consumption. Thus I submit to you, dear readers, a small composition for your select digestion.



THE PROBLEM ALL THE TIME

It had been years
since I shimmied up
a tree, so
I did,
and upon descending
observed
winter light
and the luscious hair
of the fields.
