A good hike is filled with scenery, discovery, and nostalgia. I wish the days were long enough and the trails close enough to hike everyday. Instead, there is always poetry.
New revision, January 8, 2015...
bare

wrinkled flesh flailing is
still beautiful,
dancing nude at 70 as
we did at 22. i told you
we'd be young, always
skipping through life
at our pace

each hike is mesh in rain
and gore-tex in sun
linked
by dogs and scenery and
changing elevation, we continue 
to traverse
the bareness of a late summer
forest full of fetching sticks,
slugs and impromptu songs

my daydreaming creates
distance
you far ahead, still
glancing back
while each step pulses the names
of places we will never forget
how to see

this dancing
fixes flesh to memory
