below the earth

below the earth

I remember the day I said goodbye,
the real goodbye,
the day I let loose the last thread.

from across the continent,
your coast to mine,
your letter came;
I read it in my basement room
in front of the earth-level window.

long waves moved through my legs
and up my body.
the white fabric of what was
changed color, to burgundy,
and was given away
to clouds I could not see
to make a sunset
over the islands.

I folded the letter and
put it away,
looked up and out the window
at wild grass in wind
and the wall of the house next door.

as I sat in the quiet below the earth,
nothing but time 
sat with me.

What’s New…

White Owl Web is in the process of re-designing the entire site. Big job! This is going to take a while, folks, and it will have to be done in stages. Thank goodness for CSS and Dreamweaver! Looks like a lot of nights of midnight oil here. White Owl Web hopes you will enjoy the new design, organization, and updates. This site has been gently nudging the Owl for a very long time to give it some serious attention. The time has come!
