Pace
Like a woman who goes
to her lover’s room when he is not there,
I go to the woods.
Like a woman laying her hand
on each of his possessions
and loving him all the more.
I walk in the trees and touch_
pine cones, leaf, feather, husk.
Always a longing to catch sight
of squirrel , badger, deer.
the forest pulling me deeper in
until the trees reveal
its not a glimpse of wildness
that I crave, but more like one of those stories
where the stranger welcomed
into the family home
turns out to e a fox,
or the fisherman’s wife
after long years of marriage
proves to be a seal.
sometimes my need is to lie down among the pines,
to curl heart to earth
Only the breath . Only fur

“ I thought the earth, remembered me, She took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds” I slept as never before, a stone on the riverbed, nothing between me and the white fire of the stars “
