0530 hours
Pour out shade-starved coffee
on Japanese Black Pine
brew fresh Craven-roasted
Earth and Sky
slice one piece of barley bread
butter and honey lost
without Karen
Bread of Life
four days far-threading without
I come to nothing
bread Jesus ate
picking up songlines
talking and eating his way
songline within songline
reading into it
until dozing
open this
put it down
Jesus dreaming
chewing the bread
barley good map
almost 9
now vacuum wash dishes

0600 hours
playing with flavor
surface-ball sabor
savoring don't know how
this tiny soft-covered
note-catcher dreams
the overtaking
the daily notebook
energy draw lining here
a follow-track
Babette's Feast too
Jesus Bread dipping
into Turtle Soup
bread in the songline
coffee in the cup
ask Bruce Chatwin
…but if I were asked
'What is big brain
for?'
…for singing our way
through the
wilderness'
Barley residue in my mouth
baked barley flour
fill the cup
wash it out
taste it twice
watch tiny black pines
come from soil
in small pot
Imagine 500 years
from now maybe
someone will
Pine Tree Mary
Forest Spirit
not only a mountain
a race of spirit
cow tail under skirt
rub the stone
thumb following songline
worth repeating
as one walks
walking it out
through stoneway
a walk back
walk back
