I haven't heard you make that sound before

 

In lieu of the cabin I drive two hours north and climb a small, old mountain in the woods 

Feels good to propel myself uphill


Highbush blueberry magenta in fall 

Yellow-orange tapestry draped over gullies, around scree fields 

Black striations curve through glacial rock 

Up here there is no stiltgrass or mile-a-minute

The forest breathes easier 


The sports fans keep checking the scores

The fantasy is engulfed in vines 


Finally I am reading again

The drill points arrestingly from the top of the dresser 

Crying out orgasms on the basement couch 

I'll take one schnoodle to go, please


Be advised of drone restrictions and the general firewood quarantine 

I don't know how to release this hurt 

I will always know how you were willing to treat me


Of course, I'm no angel 

I drove all day. All day I was droving.
