i followed him down the forest path to the place where he sits

salmon, otter, eagle
the seats are round stones with a wood-slice balancing on top

the river is loud from yesterdays rain

he smokes a pipe
and up jumps the Corgi onto my lap
her name is Robin (like a bird)

Bella steals my walking stick and chews it's end

there is a green insect crawling up my leg
pine cone petal body

i started to rebuilt the tee-pee
balancing three branches together first
then adding more to all sides

the wind will get it this time I'm sure
