earth note 799


the coldest rain
came in may
leaving a bed of loose pine needles
as witness
the nutrients bleached out
a trio of white pine
leading toward the valley
the road out of purgatory
is just a cold river
if you feel the pinch
you know you're still breathing
somewhere in between
beatitude practice
and a remembrance of youth
finally breaking free
walking 'til the soles become
endless practicing souls that have
nothing in common 'cept
their ability to find
or define
your purpose
