Just beyond the firelight 
where light fades 
into the dark forest
buried in night,
sounds of night creatures:
crickets, frogs . . . 
a barking dog . . .
an owl’s lonesome hoot . . .
wails of coyotes . . . 
all like a discordant symphony.

I douse the fire and wait.

Deja Vu arrived today delivered  
     by Fed Ex
        by Fed Ex
            by Fed Ex

As always efficiently to
    my doorstep
        my doorstep
            my doorstep

Just when I thought my package was there 
    it came again
        it came again
            it came again

over many lifetimes when time reversed itself
running backwards away only to
    repeat mistakes
        repeat mistakes
           repeat mistakes

Skewed perceptions locked in time and space
alter alternative reality that 
		all is at once
			all is now
				sometimes sneaking up on the unaware 
					we have all been here before.
