beware, o traveler--the road is moving too, teardrop 3/8


was it ikkyu?  maybe, but wulff
thought it applied to physics 
as much as philosophy.  my skins

held just enough friction to sneak 
up on the drop-in.  we broke in
to the trees at the usual juncture,

but took it out on the high road.
evidence of our predecessors became 
scarce as we worked our way to 

the margin.  i've taken this course
more times than i can count, but 
each step is new.  bands of crows

have been scrounging in the corn
stubble down in the valley, their 
irruptions a mystery.  seems they 

always gather in large numbers by 
late winter, looking much the same--
but as the descendents of crows 

from before, these congregations
were already saved in the blood.
in the end, i came down alone 

and stood in one place and watched 
the stars swirl, light reaching beyond 
the lives of their origingal source.
