“Why”
said the river,
refusing to run
“The mountain’s
on fire,
snow all but gone
“Beginning
or ending,
truth is the same
“The start
in the finish
—loss in the gain”
(The New Room: November, 2021)
Ex Fonte
It doesn’t matter who it’s to,
it matters who it’s from
The sender based in deeper snow,
whose tracks forever come
It doesn’t matter what you say,
it matters what they thought
Intention shouting loud and clear
—once given never bought
