Mom Recalls How Dad Used to Walk for Miles<\/h2>\n

by James Croal Jackson<\/p>\n

In those wild woods, poison sumac
\nwould distance one from active tracks\u2013
\njagged moan, trembling steel, cerulean sky
\nwaiting for your call: an endless horizon,
\na warbler singing quietly
\ninto night.<\/p>\n
