earth note 841

new mexico route 4

at the peak of summer

the mountain grass
still feels cool to the touch
     like autumn
immersed by secret springs
only the original people know
hard rock canyons leave their echo
when you step into them
a trail full of hoof & foot prints
eventually fade into forest ground cover
a sign announces a vista
after the fact
train your eyes for the long view
     nothing else has changed
