first poem in a long time

recent encounters with raven

here i am
lookin' good for no one but myself
shaved legs
hair loose and wild

out here
sitting in the second
warm rain of the day
mmmh. i am o.k. with the rain.

autumn's here you say?
where?

maybe in my solitude.
maybe in the warm rain.
maybe in all the sunsets.
sunsets.

"why am still watching the sunset!?"
 i yell out to the ancient colors.

i am ready!
i am ready to put roots in
settle
curl up
provide
and then
watch the sun RISE!

at this, Raven laughs-
wise words pour out of a beady stare i have known in dreams:
stop
rushing.
