My poem "What You Will Find in the Woods" is in the latest issue (No. 55) of "The Dawntreader," an English quarterly journal devoted to the theme "of the mystic, landscape, myth, nature, legend, spirituality and love / concern for the environment," in the words of editor Dawn Bauling. The journal publishes only on paper, not online. So I'm posting the poem below.

The DawntreaderWhat You Will Find in the Woods
You will find something.
What you find in the woods
will be different from what anybody else finds
and even if somebody is walking along right beside you,
they will not find what you do,
not even if the one beside you is your lover or
your soul mate.
But on second thought go there alone
and when you find it,
and it finds you,
you will probably wish
to be alone with it.
It takes up a lot of space.
It is, even,
a little scary.
But you will know
it is yours.
