Untitled - July 5, 2000

As I watch the signs
for a change in position
I am left with
the trepidation of waiting
to realize whether or not
I have moved beyond
self-sufficient
to independence.

And I wonder if
the year will pass
fast enough
so that I can set flight
my own dreams
travelling westwards
to the mountains.

And so it is:
my soul to the mountains
my life to the seas -
scattered as ashes
and floating.
