Valley
God damn, it's nice
to still find some gravel road, toward a few hills and peaks
with a little stream, big trees, sage brush and flat places to sleep.
The scent of pine, not much else
to save us from the stuff that fills up so much else
yet seems small and dead
when it's all far away.
When the stars are bright
and down valley, some hidden critters yip yaw in the hills
where nothing else matters.
Nice. 👍🏼
