[at-l] Blueberry Patch

[Jeremy Reiter <rambleon@email.unc.edu>]

Well, i said in an earlier email that i'd post the poem that i wrote while
at the Blueberry Patch. I wrote it on April 15th of '97 while enjoying the
beauty of the day, and thinking about the long journey ahead. I was
sitting on the little "dock" at the creek in the back yard, and the
peacefullness that moved me that day stayed with me in different shapes
and forms all the way to Katahdin. It's just that kind of place.

Cool meandering mountain river
   rhythm section of the Blueberry Patch
the wind blows accompaniment
      in grassy thickets
bird sigh cicada buzz
    baby rapid splash gurgle
water wets the moth's wings
      a weight
flutter fly impact flutter fly impact
     watch out for the
   fish
now gliding through fresh clear water
     a little less hungry
brown snake sliding through underbrush
   slither slide slither slide
an orchestra of the outdoors
   in the Blueberry Patch

Walk with light,
-Rambleon-
