HIGH VOLTAGE


The energy around here is crackling!
Like blankets with too much static electricity,
snapping and sparking in the dark.

A. is headed out:
He scribbled lists, sorted, tossed, packed up...
Took time to think.
Plan.
Moving toward goals planned years ago.
Taking T. with him and they’re going the long way.

Death Valley first and then who-knows-where,
by way of Albuquerque.
Go with God!

I'll stand by.
To take messages.
To feed the dogs...
...water what's left of the garden.

My schedule will be unchanged.
Plodding through planned days...
...static sparks, snapping in my head...
