For the Goat Man


                            ... reclusive and quiet / known only as the goat man 

      ... we ski in the snowy woods past his cabin / stop to listen

                                                ... from a single window lit by a single lamp / Pavarotti in moonlight

    You can't judge a book by the cover. Nicely written. I love that photo.

      It was a good lesson for me ... Yes, being snowbound in that little house might be fun.

    Sounds like a pretty nice life, tucked into a snug little house listening to Pavarotti! And I do love the photo.

      Yes, my understanding of how very right these choices can be for some people has grown dramatically since this event. Hpe you're staying warm down there in the city ... :)

    The assumptions associated with a name, how often they can be wrong. Nice write.

      Jayne, I'm sorry I can't help you ... my communication with him is through emails only ... I hope all is well with his travels ...

      These folks who are considered fringe are the most interesting we have ... You can hear my reading of this on an NPR station at the link provided here: http://teresaevangelinespoetry.blogspot.com/2013/11/morning-poem-on-beat.html

      Thank you so much.
