Inspiration piece
Everywhere
is here and there
and nowhere you
can be at once
Like those signs
with seven arrows
pointing every
which way
Big town –
Small town –
The moon –
You must choose
a path
calendula
scent of the sea
Mountains don’t
move, we think
yet they’re changing
every day
so slowly we’re
tricked into
believing permanence
If you lived on a bluff
overlooking the water
you could watch
storms take shape
and blow toward shore
while rain hit sideways
against the windows
You might call that beauty
Or perhaps you’d turn away
