In an old photo
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

Harbor, Long Beach, California
shelter from the squalls
