Teepee

Teepee

For a teepee is in sonnet form
for it has eight sides
for it faces the sun rising in the east
and it faces the sun hitting the top of the pine
and it faces the sun meeting the mountain’s peak
and it faces the sun in the larch grove
and it faces the sun in the west
and so on.

But the eighth side is not a side
but a door. And I lie
on the spacious floor
of my teepee
and gaze out.
Only, there is no out.
