snowy mountain peaks near tahoe

Poetic Coda

Thanks To the Elders
After Initiation

You wait, always wait,
equally places and states
of mind:

mountain-top, your
snow solitude call
drifts unbearably
down to my
suburban burden,

and you,
o hidden highway
every lane leads to
should we choose
to follow,

you wait,
and when I
am done forgetting

I will come,
I will come again
