Mileposts
Mileposts? I let out a guttural laugh at a
fancy that often jerks me with numbing
pain – almost a scab that surfaces and
ebbs with an antidote.
Mileposts look so similar, also sinister
as if it is a shadow one chases with
nose buried in the sand.
When the winding path leads to a post
it appears a stranger In the distance.
The shadow tantalizingly evades your grasp.
Is it a mirage, delusion or reality?

nudge a meditative voyage;
I marvel at the buoyant family
of trees defying time with

smiles with me or raise an arm
In greeting; “Resting eh….”
Is the unexpressed friendly
gift of a query.
What they did’nt fathom
was the stream of thought
inside ……”here is Nature’s
unrequited booty…. without
a price tag; A bemused spectator
of the fallible humans who
