rest in peace wendell berry, one of poetry’s greatest appreciators of trees

STAY HOME
I will wait here in the fields to see how well the rain brings on the grass.
In the labor of the fields longer than a man's life
I am at home. Don't come with me.
You stay home too.
I will be standing in the woods where the old trees move only with the wind and then with gravity.
In the stillness of the trees
I am at home. Don't come with me.
You stay home too.
-Wendell Berry

“A borrowed bike at twenty-one / was like a Guggenheim.” hell yeah olga broumas that’s what’s UP (this is from _perpetua_ which i’m adoring)

The Way a Child Might Believe
I think now how we biked toward the sand all day and up the hill at Devil's Elbow in time to see a green ray, magma of the sun, darken the dazzled rim of the Pacific.
We liked to feel the earth under our feet turning as though our pedals made a difference, as though it turned from Florence to Eugene to kiss our wheels as we rode west to meet it,
sweaty and blissed. A borrowed bike at twenty-one was like a Guggenheim. It rained. We laughed.
The sixty miles of woods have left a sound, an imprint I return to in your image,
the way a childhood talismanic word repeated will repeat the walls it echoed.
There are no walls. The day is green.
Green is the night, midfield on our returning,
cowed by the rain, asleep in our tube of tarp.
There is no who I was before that happened, placeless and innocent, filled only by a desire to have seen, have had
the carpet of stars infixed. As with your face.
