Fragments from a Long Road
In the blue shadows:
White bindweed moons.
Indescribable fragrance,
This August, summer air.
How the hills
Swell with rain,
Rise pale and loiter
At the edge of sight.
Chicory, wide-eyed
by the roadside,
Ragged blue
as the windy sky.
Even through these warm still days,
The scot’s pines, ever singing
Of storms and roaring seas.
