Another archive poem. Thanks for reading.

I Walk Alone

 

dusty, well-worn moccasins

travel through mesa shadows,

windblown arroyos,

along dry river beds of delusions

alone with myself.

 

steam from hot rocks

surround naked skin

attempting to cleanse

the death that follows me;

cleanse my wolf spirit

so that I may run, alive,

breathe in high mountain air,

drink the icy waters of Winter’s streams

roll in fresh fallen snow

and howl in attempts to find you.

but even with all I sweat out,

the regrets,

disappointments

and mistakes,

I cannot cleanse the loneliness.

my jeans,

flannel shirt

and eagle feathered hat

still reek of an unbalanced life.

 

these days

the sun shines in rainbows,

clouds speak to Grandmother’s moon,

stars sing songs to Turtle,

Blue butterflies make love to daisies

and brother Eagle soars

over Sand Creek,

yet I walk with coyote dreams

astride mesa’s shadows,

kicking up ancient,

desolation dust.

I walk alone.
