two poems from "untying the web"

as if . . . .

as if it were
the only thing
that matters
Love waits


freight train

while last year
may have been about
penitence

I have been absolved

and this year is
reclamation
certitude
and power

I’ve paid my dues
no groveling
no explanations

what is
is more than
good enough

the train moves on

from the coast
deeper into
the interior
of the heart land
