Subject: (instant) snap: yesterday
I took the dogs out along
the path that runs to the river
that runs from hills to ocean
hoping to aerate
the stream that runs laps
within my mortal frame
and there on the first
woodchip corner between
long dry grasses
a white sand yin-yang mandala
drawn from the long jump pit
at the local school.
Tibetan sand meditations
came to mind, monks
in flowing robes
writing sandy sutras
in the sweltering heat
of city art spaces,
and I thought more
as my dog tugs her lead
of the wave of East
to West in
pop culture decades past,
the flow of language
and beliefs, travelling
pop to high culture,
bringing tribes together -
followed by faiths
with armed warriors
fighting for supremacy.
One dog has run on,
the other tugs at her lead,
my feet follow
step by step
forward.
