Out Here In Montana
What I am thinking – out here in Montana
is time. Where the thoughts are slow
and clear. - A pinpoint flashlight
outlining objects – a neon circle
fading away.
What I am thinking – out here in Montana
is peace. Where the wind blows a stray
cloud across the cerulean sky. A candle
burning down to the end – slow
easy darkness.
What I am thinking – out here in Montana
is happiness. Where the sky is broad
and the sun is close. – A hundred
watt light bulb turned on – heat
coming off in waves.
What I am thinking – out here in Montana
is love. Where the mountain snow is melting
in the middle of July. Fireworks – lit
then a quick catch – bright
sudden explosion.
