LIFE DOES NOT TRAVEL

UPON A STRAIGHT

LINE...

yet in so many photos I have

you are

doing just that.

In the sky

and the earth

and the sound of the wind

there you still live, Walt.  

But that is not to say I have ever grown used to your leaving...

nor your walking down that straight line

as if you knew

just where

you were going.
