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

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