Every green room of the forest planted:<\/em>

You could go on, I know\u2014
green room to green room,
names scrolling off your tongue
like bark from madrona trunks.
Snowberry and salal, Douglas fir and elderberry.
Have I told you cedars are my favorites?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see more rust-colored cedar boughs;
\u201cflagging,\u201d a mutual friend explains.
For me a new meaning.
Things are changing, but this flagging\u2014
natural, this time of year.
Nothing to worry about.
Have I told you I\u2019m feeling my age,
am more prone to clich\u00e9?
Natural, this time of life.
Weakness and pain in my right arm
is new to me. Go on. I\u2019ll sit here
and rest, with the old meaning\u2014
in this warming up, drying out rust-colored room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sorry for harm I\u2019ve caused.
Why do you think I started walking,
breathing in the ragged poison bouquet
of particulates and exhaust?
Here, spiderwebs are mostly intact
and blackberries flourish.
At the tip of my old hiking boot, holey,
a beetle evades my attention, strolls
under a leaf from a trailing blackberry vine,
hides. For me a new beetle;
no name scrolls from my tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lift the leaf, only to say,
Hi. I haven\u2019t seen you before. You\u2019re safe.
I\u2019m uninterested in causing further harm.<\/em>
Should I buy new hiking boots? It depends.
Have I told you our time together
has been holy, a benediction?
Go on. There is nothing to fear. Don\u2019t worry.
Know I loved you. Go on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
