Hillside

climbing a hillside the heaven broke into rain lightning carved up the- sky, like a pronged carving knife; roast lunch…waiting gravy boat. . Untangled I knotted my face squashed it against a window and the world went by . Koi fish swallows head home south rice fields have been harvest koi fish good eating . Slow lane I chose one moment it passed us by so quickly life in the slow lane . Rainbows I drifted like a cloud hoped one day the sun would shine obstacle rainbows . Companionship I found friendship once where it went I've forgotten companionship none . Heron even fish must talk and decipher the silence so heron can pause . Journeys end wild yak butter is rubbed-on prayer flagpoles journeys end comes soon… . Nocturne summer lightning orchestrates a nocturne fervent pianist . Snow snow mimicking mossy gravestones parking lots . Changing I can't fathom it this likeness isn't constant changing of the leaves . Silence a chainsaw humming a woodpecker heard drilling silence far away… . Vigil a midnight vigil chandeliers of crystal glass dew-like teardrops plunge . Destiny a fallen oak tree an acorn in its round cup destiny waits
