Thinking of China

My mind is running with the water

Racing, dodging stones and sticks along the stream

The light turns those leaves above me into crystal

And these little purple flowers defying the green

That rock there

Looks as though it had just fallen

As if a giant kid

Had emptied a giant pocket

This place is like some secret wonder

As if it was there just for me

The moment I stepped out of the border

If I turned around then it would all disappear

That poor leach trying to bleed my shoe sole dry

The moment I stepped into the river

It was ready to strike

It’s likewise there

In those woods where glass kisses the sky

You do what you can

And you do what you do to survive

The magic allure of the unseen

There, where the forest thickens

How many times I’ve dreamed

Of getting lost in a place like this

The odds are all against my returning

To this nook of peace

The list is long

I’ve got a collector’s soul

For latitudes, it seems

Although in my head the scene is fading

I hope somehow time will find a way

To keep that place

Exactly as it is
