The Wolf, II.
why oh why do I love him so? why does the thought of him bring a silent, patriotic tear to my eye? that tear, swollen with pride and brotherhood. sigh. the tension held between his shoulderblades. teeth bared. tense. skin shivers. I, too. Ready for collision! Ah, to collide. To run free, naked and warm down a mountainside without the slightest chance, that anyone could catch you. I love how you...
Astride That Big Ol' Oak Tree at Kingsland Bay
It is so easy for me to get on top of the world. but I could never call that place home. I just saw a fox run along the shore. (truly!) Oh, my lovely land, how long have you been my refuge?

My smile is my ticket. pace! pace! pace! one thousand years of gratitude! devoted to my mother, my father, my sister. for they carefully sewed my home into my...
The Wolf, I.
I chased a wolf today. He was an acre away when I first noticed him, watching me. About an acre away, as the crow flies. His body still against the wind that moves the trees and grass.
A wolf is hope.
Is darkness and light together.
Is a sign
that wilderness still exists. A wolf means that it is just fine to be alone.
I was only out for an evening walk.
I was only out to put the day to...
