Chiricahua, I’m in love
Sauna, I’m in love
Ice water, I’m in love<\/p>

This is what falling in love feels like\u00a0
over and over
and this is the smile it brings
and this is the intimacy with here
and with now
right now
yes<\/p>

This is love<\/p>

and the sun
each breath sipping in the sunlight
each tree so delicate on top
of the ridge
in the sun
against the blue
and then birds alight and land
d\u00e9poser<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

a walk, in two parts<\/p>\n

1.<\/p>\n

I am surrounded by friends.<\/p>\n

the hawk
the butterfly
the blue and blue birds
the sky
the chipmunk
and yes, the fly<\/p>\n

Please don’t think I don’t love my human ones
they’re so dear
with their two legs,
upright torsos
and shining, mouth-opening faces.<\/p>\n

These mountains are my friends
in the way that wisdom is a friend<\/p>\n

and the wind and the creek passing through<\/p>\n

I’ve never been fonder of the caress\u00a0
from a grass,
a lover so humble I didn’t see her<\/p>\n

Enough for now to sit on this rock, my friend,
with the sun, my pleasure, at my back.<\/p>\n


2.<\/p>\n

This time, it was the wind
that made me cry or
maybe it was the cup
or Joan at my back
or the majesty of it all<\/p>\n

and laughter\u00a0
for the blue of the feather
is the same
as the blue of the sky
the laughter is its sound<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
