long haul

caliban press poster
i am exhausted.
until friday, 
not one day at work 
has had any light in it.
not one. for weeks and weeks.
 morning departures
have been monumental
hard.
 this image
wild and deeply real
on my mind
and these
lovebirds.
yesterday i saw birds mating
on a telephone pole
kestrels.
couldn't get a photo
because i couldn't stop looking.
and this:
old foundation
waiting, waiting.
