finding words while hunting mushrooms

 

We walked and gathered mushrooms
I was glad that the words were about mushrooms,
I had so little to say.
Long ago, the nicest young woman at the Saugatauk family camp
asked me why I am so serious
At seven, this was a serious accusation and it hurt me deeply
I remember this now as I reflect on the day, I often do,
that I think many things but do not speak.
