HOME: Three poems from Chaco Elegies
THE SAME SWEET FOLLY
There are those to whom we are vermin,
or sources of food, or impediments
along the way
to the "inevitable."

TIME’S COMMON SENSE
Change
is divine
exercise,
Her practice,
Her meditation.
Returning
to an again
which is always
a never,
I know
we have looked at the clouds together,
looked at the stone together,
have breathed in the night together
— all of us who have known
the canyon as ourselves.

MOTHER OF MYTHS
We read of the Hopi (that's all we can do)
that the dead are clouds,
that the dead rain down their souls on earth,
that life depends on their essence.
