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.

    Salmon, tasting branch water…tastes good! Tastes GOOD!
