just finished a long walk around monte rosa in the swiss/italian alps. after ten days of intense activity and massive sensory input, there was a real decompression. summer is drawing down. back in my own mountains, there’s a subtle change in the air. winter won’t be long now.
this is a small piece- more to come in days to come

Trek’s end
sitting in a park
in the sun, agenda-less
like an old man
beyond usefulness.
a world away
my black dog
twitches in his sleep
dreaming me dead
while the earth
turns her face from the sun
rolling slowly over
into winter
