The body knows,
What the mind will not admit,

Like the beating heart,

"durable measure"
we've seen
other plants in better light
—ones set near wide windows,
the ones trimmed for company,
the ones that catch the full run
of a warm afternoon.
But none of them hold the same
quiet,... [read more] |

I saw your smile and I started thinking,
Maybe you're just a town away,
Maybe I could pick you up on Friday,
Watch the sunset fade away.
Then you laughed and said, “I'm in Colorado,”
And my heart skipped about a mile,

return to the bank
I came back years later, much later.
The incline had eroded in one section,
and someone had placed a plank across the dip
so people wouldn't lose their footing.
