In a lowland canyon
at a
minor confluence
Pahn walks along a river rough
with
its broken
cottonwoods
bent willows
mounds
of gravel
sand
and slabs
of
exposed bedrock
He is looking for a site
to build by hand
a temporary
residence
He has long known He
is considering the runoff
that he
could never
get inside from the canyon walls
the protection of belief
He is either inside in the winter rain
the door and what it might do
or outside the foundation
and there is no talking through it
if he chooses this spot
Yaohwa arrives
with his quick assumptions telling Pahn
what he has already observed
and
what to do
Pahn wants Yaohwa to go
away
to leave Pahn to his
nature
to let Pahn use
and expand
Is he to fight Yaohwa his own confidence
for the rest of his life?
Or
will a time come
when Pahn has vanquished him?
