Yet another year

What is a year?
Here in New Mexico it is 100 years
Space, trains, adobe softbrown walls
Farilitos, surreal white wastes.
Here in Family it is another journey
Eastnorth to the comfort discomfort of the gathering
Relishing icy water, toe nibblers, laughter echoing, and
a clamp on the heart for the missing faces.
Here in the World Mountains of confusion
the lack of demigogs, mediocre choices for
the future
hoping for strength so revolution rings again
stealing a line ... not with a bang
fading
