Trespassing

(June 3, 2010)  Your mind wants to say

a logging road is where the dead walked,

winch and flatbed for a prosthesis,

good redwood makes good fencing

for all those good neighbors.

It’s the spray of starflowers

that ruins everything. Salal braiding edges

grows inward, as you walk deeper.

Truly wondrous description evokes senses…I could hear soft footfalls and smell the moist fecundity; even taste that salmonberry. Bravo! That you from a momentarily deskbound ofttime fellow trespasser. Most sincerely appreciate your poetry, Kimberly. Thank you. Dawn
