fragments of remembered time- 1 through 3

1
the chimes ignored the wind,
just for a moment the trees bowed;
Kore, low in the fresh cut grass
trying to catch a whiff of the lilies
in the mist of mold and skinned knees.




2
the waters cooperation maintains the space between vertical and horizontal.
breathing uninterrupted, 
reserving the gasp for where our bodies conjoin.



3
a proposition
a country crossroads covered in wildflowers.

stop.
touch.
name every one.

a patch of goldenrod and chicory
drop the last lock

leave
covered in thistledown
the key is safe.
