I hiked from the rim of the gorge
to the base of the falls
there’s a baby crying

thirteen geese
one fisherman
& me
*
following a gull’s flight
around the edges of the lake
where is the center of the universe?
*

a robin hops by; the wind
knocks over my bottle
*
moonset over the pines
the lone buoy
lists to the north
