Missing Nat

For our much loved Nat Spencer May 15, 1946- April Fool's Day 2009

We tried to keep him in the world
with adventures of Afraghan warriors
and scenes on the Ganges from Indiana Jones
with Lord Vishnu Schist presiding over little boys around
fire pits. We believe that words and light
and storytelling have power.

The world and Horse Creek Rd are different forever.
The landscape has changed as if Douglas fir had turned blue.
He’ s no longer there to stoke fires and herd bears
with garbage can lids. He’s riding a winged horse
through the greenest forest fueled
by the fire in the heart of a Bodhisatva.
