and a small herd
of blue sheep
crossing mountains
in the depth of winter
miles from cities
miles from a warm bath
sitting in a cloud tent
sitting in the wind
sitting with a Lama
perched like a moment
on a thin rock shelf
at 17,000 feet
with prayer flags by my shoulder
watching the air
breathe
watching time
watching myself disappear
smiling in the shadows
laughing in the sunshine
then two wolves
then six
black tails
with specks of white
like snow flakes
and deep drifts
that close the high alpine passes.
