east fork san juan river morning

the river crackles gurgles
breath looks like steam
even in june
we will water up
in pagosa springs
watch the kids slip through the boulders
on inner tubes
there will be plenty of heat
by afternoon

the road to chimney rock
is not a straight line
but a sacred squash blossom
that may have touched you
