down are the days,

we shook ourselves,

off.

the past,

in circles,

joined by the stars,

met,

in this ultimate place.

we hired a cab,

pulled down a flag

and we were again on the road,

running.

running are the kids in the yard,

the apple tree slept,

you were here even though.

I whispered a couple words,

they flew like clouds,

withheld upon your head,

prayers and prayers,

words of wish,

flow, flow, flow.

too late, too early,

too perfect.

I stumble, and you fall.

flat, flat, flat.

regardless to our will.

we look up, rise again and laugh.

chin bruised, a slight drop of dried blood,

a pin stuck under your foot,

a stone stuck in my chest.

chuckling ducks.

I’m half lamb, half wolf,

I send these words to you.

I’m half lamb half-wolf,

I send these words to you.

back, half-back from the most beautiful village on earth.
, as says Paul.
just back from Nulato, Alaska, where I was for the memorial
of Josephine Mountain, mother of my friend Paul Mountain by whom I was invited.
