American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

The Evening Light Behind the Rockies 


If I could succumb to a notion
that was supplicant and devotional, I would

imagine it should be a loosely-collected thought.
Mountains are the ideal.  And rivers

are the pure essence of stony life,
and life is our stubborn tool

of communication between the ancient
and the astral planes.  I can stand in their umbra,

skip smooth stones across the river, and smile
at my daughters in the sweet evening light.
