The Friday Influence

a poetry blog & online home to the work of José Angel Araguz, Ph.D.

* travel update & some life sketches

Hello y’all!

Since I am moving this week back to Oregon and am on the road as I write this, I decided I would forgo the usual Friday Influence post and share some life sketches.  I will resume the usual astrologically-centered good times next week.  Enjoy!

walking in Flagstaff

the folds of her blue dress

in the wind

our laughter folded there

 

***

 

driving at night

the lights of Bakersfield

disappear behind the hill

like so many gleaming eyes

closing

 

***

 

on the highway

in the half-light of sunset

the passing lights of trucks

like the eyes of a man

leaving

when told to go

 

***

Happy driving!

    Thanks for the kind words and good wishes. And of course for the awesome send-off! Best.

    You’ve definitely put me on the road with you. Beautiful stuff. And I’m intrigued to see what a return to Oregon produces for you!
