earth note 569


the distance from the map
to the highway
is incalculable
and then
where the tall pines sway
just from the rotation of the earth
there's the little pend oreille river
sometimes called pond-du-ray
by internet french
or just a lazy listener
but make no mistake
the falls near route 20
might take you years to find
take nothing for granted
pack up your sorrows
as the song goes
and then fill your body
with the magic water
