Redwood Forest Yoga - Doug von Koss

[Larry Robinson]

Redwood Forest Yoga

 
Eighteen pairs of muddy boots
 
Kicked in a jumbled pile
 
Puddle by the door
 
Far from the fire
 
 
Eighteen well-worn jackets
 
Male odors mingling
 
Drip on the knotty pine floor
 
Out of the rain at last
 
 
Eighteen glowing bodies
 
Stretch their edges by the fire
 
Upward facing dogs
                                                         
Under the sheltering roof
 
 
Eighteen visions of God
 
Held on an inward breath
 
Tear blind me
 
With their beauty
 
                - Doug von Koss
