Statement

Abiquiu Rain

The dry rustle of golden leaves
whispers of the coming death,
rocks are sharp under our feet

as we leap
into the high blue of an October sky.
Leaves crisped to the ground

crumble into dust and
snow settles on the mountains
under a fleece of sullen clouds

to remind us of the foolish promise
of flowers. The drama of healing
quietly occurs under the hum

of ordinary life. While we are
waiting for answers,
it has already begun to rain.
