What time is love?

No, it's not just a song by the KLF. It asks how we look at the question of time itself, and how we love the time we have to spend, such as time just spent wandering in the woods. A recent end-of-the-year trip to the park with some near-and-dear ones inspires these meditations in word and image. More, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Time in the woods

How shall I know
the hour or day?
All the old methods fail.
Shall I dazzle a stick
in a fragile pond
and see which way it ticks?
The pale soft moon looms on the glass
of the icicle shadow below
and forages high in the prospects
of trees rough-cheeked
with courage and berries,
bolder still with a rude little fellow
who barked at me,
what time is it?
Don't you know?
