Steepside Life

 Steepside Life


Rain buttons the water-tight bug pond,

slow enough to can't hear it drop

on a tin roof Sunday.

All the time in the world

helps water wash us away.


It slickens the hillside briar

on the loam crawl down.

My yard's on its own

way into town, tangling the neighbors

on the long slide.


In a hundred years we'll all be valley
