                     Taking Ron’s truck home
         Capture these days
            The desert sun and the indian miles
         Durango, Flagstaff … the San Luis Valley
         All the hours Kathi and I talked and made love
         The evenings there in other cities
         The day we bussed across southern Colorado
            and walked thru Colorado Springs
         and, finally, the flight from Denver
            and the rocky mountain’s massive lines
         Ron and Sally’s trailer, Kathi and I, and they
            the easy friendship and how, smoking grass,
               I saw Kathi’s spirit shine so clearly
         Hugh Prather’s book, we read …
         across the Arizona desert
            in the Durango motel
               and in the Trailways bus
                  oblivious to those around us
         Dinners and smiles in Flagstaff
            making love driving … and atop Wolf Creek pass
         Sunshine hours and days pressed, living,
            between the beginning and end of our journey
         Here on the ground again, with Colorado just four hours old
            it all seems forever distant
         But here the impress of Kathi’s spirit remains
            with its honesty and passion and intelligence
               and, most of all, with its free standing love.
