Itinerary
If it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare


When did my mysterious
itinerary with words
begin:  the one I could clear
on stilts, one that could send me
crashing by the moon’s frozen lake
when I dance in the vertigo
of the forked road, like a tide
of shadows watching a pheasant
nest on an icy dolmen?
