Direction



We have been here before
on the rain-slick path
diverging off into tree-lined
distance until we can no longer see
through the fir and vine maples,
the tangle of many shapes
and mottled color,
small miracles of light
shafting out of the thick canopy.

In which direction should
we go? How soon will we
get lost again? As far as we
can see toward it, chance
or mischance still
snake down the path
moving so quickly
over and over again,
curving so suddenly.
