SHADEQUARTER

Posted on February 4, 2016 by | 4 Comments

 

We don’t imagine men
who live alone
in the mountains

of ever dying—
we seldom saw them
when alive.

Word trickles down
the watershed:
tracks in fresh snow

where he lay down
forever to become
part of our landscape.

    Old soldiers and cowboys never die, they just fade away…
    (That’s what the poem made me think of. )

    Alone with God. Remembered by a few.
