CROSSROADS

the trouble with hills ?
when you get up close
they become trees.
the trouble with trees?
there are too many.

one or two
at the end of an open field
would be enough

you don’t think of hills
as having roads
but I remember a hill
where two roads crossed
at the summit
where there were open fields

I wondered why roads
would come to the summit
and then go down again.
there was a farmhouse
where they crossed.

I want to find the place again
but can’t. it’s somewhere
in Pennsylvania. two roads
cross on the summit of a hill
