About Me

My photo
From "Letters to a Young Poet," Rainer Maria Rilke: “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

Making an Investment

You've taught me a lot about

the importance

of a sturdy pair of shoes

and since I'm on the subject

of making an investment

(sore feet is a price

none of us like to pay

since it keeps us off

the trails

the court

and the pavement)











Tucson, almost spring, 1985

to Rabbit Mountain before

the next unwelcome snowstorm

mucking up our streets

Two children who love you too much

to ever leave you out of anything

one in London with a pretty girl

and one just counting down the stressful moments

until her next margarita

Thank you for the sturdiest shoes.

Thank you for wearing them, and

thank you for tying mine.
