HOME: Two poems from Chaco Mind
THE MUSIC OF TIME
It is all one sea,
one sky,
to the edge
of the end.
At Pacific's rim off Malibu,
sail boats slicing through a sunny fog,
we watched the waters
swallow Chaco up,
and we could see
no difference
on the surface of the sea.

WAITING FOR SHOOTING STARS
for Rini, Jim, Jacki, Marc, Chris, John, Francis, and Ian.
I have never physically been to the top,
star waiting on La Fajada Butte.
But I would not need to be told
how to be
if they, long ago,
should find me there in their minds,
a useless dream shape
from who knows where.
I know enough.
(The sacred
and profane
are sacred.)
