Drifted west ward
To the land
That holds rocks, trees, blood, and tears
Drifted back on memories
Long accomplished
Clouded, not forgotten
Sat and drifted
Listening to the wind
To the snow
In the midst of the worst of it
A storm
Delivering a clean new place
Knowing pain
Real and blinding
In the flesh and the heart
Living with it
And going on
Like a late spring flake
Sable crow danced with a great red hawk
And for a time
I drifted with them.
