the marrow of life leaves a
bitter aftertaste

and gets you well soon
And gets you well soon-
Studying, head above dark clouds
Drive beyond all tears

rays of optimism
scatter rain's salt sting

breaking the soft stillness of
two upslanted eyes

staring in the dark

Lifeless beneath wheels.

surrounded by elk

the forest viewed through bright eyes
wonder and marvel

About the perplexities
Of this very life

i often decline to ask

i am able to maintain
an icy distance

do not be afraid
to tread these pathways alone
in peace and quiet
