Again, Fishing in the River Ah, Fool! All I See All Down the Kitchen Sink Bleeding at the Edges A Deep Sleep Did You Know? Do You Remember That Place?

Five days in the woods,
following tracks through the snow.
Five days by the lake,
...watching sun rise and sun go.
Five days in the silence,
a deep, grateful thrill.
Five days on the One seat,
the mind quiet and still.
