out there

where barking birds of morning echo the cicadas' refrain

out there

where the hickories are thick canopies
of shadow lace

out there

where spiders pirouette and stilt
toward humming lantern light

out there

under shifted sky

out there

more stars than planes

out there

where there's symphonies in passing streams
and leaves crunched under feet,
percussion in the stomp
on jutting rocks,
a whistle in the bending breeze


out there

where there's only your voice
and that of the trees

out there

it's easy to believe
all it takes is
two feet.
