hard work has its reward
colin reports from north carolina
he proclaims a love for heat and humidity
feels like bathing in air he writes like dessert
i suppose it feels like home he grew up there
a touchstone
it is true
this napa valley air is dry by comparison
~
marketa is at home in the city
colin's grandfather and i are here
in the dry and in my mind lovely air
~
i have my work spread out on the dinning room table
since it's just the two of us
we eat in the kitchen we the unlikely couple
i can't remember being so calm in my head
so content in my body
something about this place is utterly pacifying
proximity to the pacific
no doubt
~
keep the world at bay
this lifestyle makes sense
knowing that this is not a lifestyle
it is the result of clear and calculated decisions
built stone by stone vine by vine
i've stepped into colin's grandfather's end game
his foresight
~
we sit on the patio after dinner
watching the sun set
a little later in the den
i play my guitar
instead of putting on one of his vinyls
the nerve of me
~
were colin and marketa here
i wouldn't do it
it's a beautiful kind of intimacy we share
