The birds at the reservoirs of Wayne E. Kirch Wildlife Management Area can be a little distant, and even then scrambling away further. I had a loop hike on the roads and trails. (They do exist.)

(Today is the National Day on Writing in the US. It is supported by the National Council of Teachers of English and the National Writing Project and others, and the day is designed to raise the profile if writing as literacy skill. The theme: Why I Write)

I write
from dusty corners
and dark shadows
in order to remember
the past, and
in order to situate
my place in the world,
both mapped
and unmapped
in the words
I write.
