Blaze

Animas River near Cedar Hill, San Juan County, New Mexico
Autumn by autumn
a blaze along the river
outshines every sun.

restless leaves are still turning
into little suns.

River

Animas River, Aztec, New Mexico
midsummer morning
the river unraveling
on its seaward way
~~ ~~ ~~
Rampant grow the tales
whispered by the willow trees
at the river’s edge.
~~ ~~ ~~
echoes of a crow
still menacing the river
ninety yards downstream

Cottonwoods

An old cottonwood tree, framing the Animas River, Aztec, New Mexico
at the river’s edge
not the slightest breeze riffling
the cottonwood leaves
