Poems From The Poetry Circle

Twisted bark

M. Caponi

Bark twist. I see you. On my daily walk, ascending the hill, 200 steps, plunging downwards three blocks of concrete, to the golden powder by the ocean.

Bark twist, you are. By the side of the old wooden stairs. Gray, brittle odd shape husk as the back of two legs, chest and head buried in the soil, where we spread your ashes, white fine dust.

Bark twist, bends. On the land where my sons and I scattered you. So much white powder. An urn full dispersed under the canopy of deep rooted ancient trees.

Bark twist, shaped. The weather-beaten wood molded like a yoga down dog reflecting sunlight. You didn’t like yoga, you didn’t like to exercise, but you would meditate.

Bark twist, in between wild yellow flowers exploding after the rains. I imagine your soul rising, giving me a sign, after so many years still alive.
