Mind

weary tired mind

come here

nestle upon

this body's lap

deep in the center

and take your

well-deserved

rest

i have the map

to guide us through

what's left

of our short journey

learning as you

now are

how to forget

how not to

remember

those once-upon-a-time

clever machinations

reticulated schemes

persuasive lengthy arguments

parries and needless worries

have all come down

to this moment when

as in the navajo prayer

we walk along in beauty

this is the

blessed fruit

the truth

of all

your thoughtful

labors
