soaked in leaf smoke, wearing the latest in dirt
walking runway teary-eyed
hands black with burnt wood aloe
throwing wood on the fire
flames shooting up higher, almost kissing a cloud
yellow orange dancing
embedded red embers like diamonds
gray ash sprinkled like magic dust
faraway dogs barking authoritatively
wolves howling at full moon bright
bears being bears
owlzahootyhoothooting
red and green piper cub, or beechcraft overhead
lonesome drone engine rhythmic
raccoons in the bushes, up the trees
breathe deep the forest air
pines, oaks, 10,000 others
sitting in torn cloth fold-up blue chair
beef jerky and a beer
no better place to be than here
take a walk by the lake reflections
twinkling stars way up high, planets moon happiness
