Max Patch


 at a center


Gaia often whispers,

as with a May apple blossom,




or repeats herself with geranium after geranium,

















or just stands assertive before me

as with a textured mountain,

at the top of a grassy bald called Max Patch,

















She crescendoes with a rightness

that erupts and ripples away before me,

I am here at the center 

as if at the hub of a compass,

and all the directions are held

by the circling mountains before me.
