Pic(k)of the Week: Underfoot

Every time I walk down

into the hollow

through the winter woods

or up the mountain again,

I stop right here.

Standing on the packed earth

at an old logging road

where the creek slips quietly

through its rusty culvert

underfoot,

I'm not so much listening as feeling

a kind of tickling caress

through the soles of my shoes

and I recognize

a crossing of paths, a choice,

a way back,

if I could only turn

and follow.

— Underfoot

Stephen Wing (Atlanta, Georgia)

There were no logging roads or mountains in the parkland of this cemetery...but there were a creek and a culvert, hilly inclines, winter woods, a crossing of paths...and, considering the solemnity of the surroundings, places, like this, where one could quietly contemplate the feel of the earth underfoot.
