I always left them on the trail: loose stones.
But after, "I heard the news today, oh boy,"
I kicked
a few to
the side.

Time's an endless bridge
                         crossed on a frosty night,

each step hazardous thousands of years
ago when deer leaped across chilly cave
walls, and thickets quivered, on the path
before us, both sides.

 

 

 

I heard the news: J. Lennon and P. McCartney. From, "A Day In The Life." London, 1967.
an endless bridge: S. Takahashi. From,"Magpie."
