ENCOUNTER AT ROCKY TOP
It looks to me like
an old real estate sign
advertising houses.
How it got here
on The Walk and Roll Trail
is not a question
my grand daughter and I ask.
She's a photographer with a camera.*
This is the William O Douglass Trail
next to a garbage dump. You can
walk to Mt. Tahoma from here.
We turn this into a proscenium arch
and I smile for my grand-daughter.
The stage, exposed by her vision,
proves to be too small
for the world we’re walking into.
Amid the joy of first flowers,
the grandfather smile disappears.
