pink and white oleander

red beard

renegades roam here

returning to sacred places

ritual places

small horses ride me

snow-covered earth

softly treading black bear

soil rich with lime

sometimes falling rain

stained black

stark stolen sky

star of david

straight ahead

sublime shadows of midnight

such then is beauty

sunken faces

take the

tap dancing

the glory in old barns

toward light

turtle islands everywhere

walking the long way home

when the dawn

when trees die

wilderness within

winds of fate

wingspan wide

with water
