Sunsets

off to Oakland
and then east
tomorrow

to where the sun sets
three hours earlier

not sure
how I’m getting
to Oakland yet.
still hoping for a ride
to appear
and avoid 12-hour
Greyhound trip
and lugging stuff around

or maybe take the train
costs less
more comfortable
but stops at Dunsmuir,
10 miles south of Mt. Shasta,
once a day
at 12:35 am

no real station there
just wait by the tracks

***

spent much
of the last two weeks
alone on the mountain

tomorrow will join
three others in a car
five days
three-thousand miles

from pop. of 1
to city of 10,000,000
