where a dry river use to flow
it doesn't mean next year
will be a total bust
you can search the shoreline
before the first snow
touch every part of it
follow it to the ocean
take a rain check
on finding just the right metaphor
to describe the empty mist
the whole planet is in a mist
there are chords you have
in your back pocket
never used
if you get desperate
a few of them will do
there are california smoke jumpers
to bring you through next year
you can join them on jack's ridge
take enough water & respirators
for the crew
remember that the rivers are dry
remember that this isn't just
another lonely
misdirected
heartache
