Darkness owned
The months
Time froze
Entangled
With the heartbreak
Of a winter coffin
As I slumped
Into your recliner
Smoking your last
Cigarettes
Hearing your bones
Cry gratitude
For the morphine
I pumped
And remorse
For the lost years
errant leaf skipping
ahead on the gravel path
awaiting uplift
Surrendering to soulful disarray
along the twisted pathway to tranquility.

Things one can see during a sunset drive in Western North Carolina on the Blue Ridge Parkway

days of misted grey
silence are free as trees rust
in the mountain's arms

Scenes from this year's seasonal home somewhere between the Blue Ridge & the Great Smokies.
Main waterfall at Soco, on the Cherokee Nation near the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.
