Most eloquent
when simplest
the grammar of touch.

busy and strong

the distant mountain
reflected in his eyes...

    just saw a nature show on PBS tv ..

    the dragonfly
    is
    one of the three
    oldest
    continuous living
    things

    (I forget the other two however:
    it's not the cocker roach)

    I've been working on a poem for a couple of years now about my father and the language of him. The grammar line in the first haiku makes me think of it.
