More in Tasting Peace

vi. Son: Listening


Why do old men hobble?
A deer rustled along the shore
Looking for a spot to drink
Glancing at the boy, then inching through the leafless brush

Atop a pine
A bird shuffled and stayed just out of view.

On top of the hill behind the house
Where the road passes
The sound of someone walking
Fell through the early morning silence.

The rhythm off
Two steps shuffle
Click.

The familiar cadence of a beloved old man.
