Primordial Alliance
Home alone (J. on the road)
living small in our little house
tucked in the woods
A frozen stream ribbon
out back
…………… Midnight Zero
Taken during near full moon
while on the way down
from dragging garbage cans
up the hill
Dogs on the dark flanks sniffing,
fulfilling a primordial alliance
A touching the earth
Buddha
guards the door
Next
an armful of firewood
