Nothing will surprise you
if not today,
the sudden appearance
of a star, music
from a nearby tree
and the pulse
beating like a drum
on blue rivers
beneath the skin;
below the pavement
into the night sky
and within this body,
comrade beloved
shocking the universe
with wide eyed attention.
YES!
You’re on a roll, Don! Roll on, Mighty River. I’ll meet you head on.
Salmon, tasting branch water…tastes good! Tastes GOOD!
Thank you, Don.
Beautiful, Comrade beloved… thank you.
