445 69a The path I took / when eleven years old — / shrouded in fog
446 69b Young beaver floats / past the old cottonwood / looking for tender shoots *FF
447 69c Evening blossoms / pink on snowy peaks — / to the east *FF?
448 69d Three ducks worry / the shallows — I pick up my pen / and scribble *FF?
449 69e I slept with you / last night — did you know / a thousand miles away

450 70a A brush broom / leans into the tree / and rests (roots) *FF
451 70b Shadows menace. / A light goes on. / They flee.
452 70c Small flies annoy, / are harmless like me — / some would say
453 70d The sun dries the mess / the rain left — who / will clean it
454 70e Children's laughter / across the old pond — / nothing moves

455 71a Manacled and handcuffed / the clematis climbs and binds / the bushes
456 71b He roasts beets / over the cookfire — / red in the face
457 71c When sun greets / the day — does it matter / which way we go
458 71d Ducks part / the water — writing / the letter V *FF
459 71e Writing so many / poems — but who to / share them with

460 72a Cedar waxwings eat / the berries — seeds fall / on hard pavement
461 72b When your face lit / the sky for a moment — / I was sleeping
462 72c My eyes fail — / how do I know they are / waving at me
463 72d Today I will / venture forth — the sun begs / a companion
464 72e One last flower / blooms — I cannot cut / the geranium today
465 72f Soft pillow, cozy / bed but — the moon / wants to play
466 72g People cheer for / the sun — the daffodil / nods its head
