These are the Reasons Why





Somewhere out in the yonder is Miriam, a woman who decided she wanted to shed her shoes and feel the earth between her toes. She lost her clothes and became wild again, running through tall grass and slipping into swamps to feel the algae lick her skin and the silt sift through her hair. Her family had given up on her long ago, knowing she would never return. She had run with the animals for too long, scratching her back on trees and licking dewdrops from the clover leaves.


 













Crystal Lake, Montana, summer 2011
 


                                                     When we stopped to look we had
                                                     no clue
                                                     what we were in for
                                                     A bored sigh of a spot,
                                                     perhaps.

                                                     Anywhere in America will do,
                                                     really. All anyone needs are some
                                                     trees
                                                     and stuff.

                                                     We were shocked into existence
                                                     by a majesty on beyond man
                                                     a caddywhompus cacophony
                                                     of grandeur
                                                     Leading out into the yonder.

                                                     Our eyes felt lucked out to be in their sockets
                                                     and our heads became soft

                                                     Fuzzled with the
                                                     peach skin of Being There.
