black canyon of the gunnison
from the top of painted wall
the river is a small rush
pressing the base
like a sculptor's tool
as the world draws in
a serene yet endless energy
without mandate
some species
one in particular
press their objectives
without awareness
what's left of daylight
will be scrawled
on your body
on your conscience
for the ancients
yet to come
