GOODBY FROM THE LAKESHORE

WHEN WE GO SLOW

Words do different things

Time now
Time to leave Galilee

Walking like this
Walking witness—
names another, deep,
always descending,
place/breathtaking/path

Not knowing,
but after the fact
walking out
of our heads
into our own
purple heart

cherry from coffee
cupped in the hand
