empty
my pockets are
not, not when red leaves fall
on fern-bogged trails, my hands gather
feathers,
pinecones,
blue-green river
tides, snow-capped mountains, trees,
birdsongs, sky's blue, my chest swelling-
joy-packed

ReplyDeleteDelightful travel notes, Grace, and I enjoyed filling pockets with you. I already have my eye on conkers and acorns, which are abundant around here.
