earth note 741


rain finally rescues the woods
dampness will try & carry on for weeks
ponderosa have a knack for spacing themselves
but there are no ponderosa in these parts
everyone's an orphan

the trails will dry up with a hundred feet
deer hooves trail off
when you're not paying attention
i've been guilty more than once
for wearing blinders

woodpecker beats between raindrops
a hollow lonely call & answer
i've been waiting with my ear on the ridge
