American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

Wind River


The weary traveler travels with a hope
to find something established or to see a place

and feel assurance in the amenable landscape.
He hopes to disarm that which abrogates

his wanderlust just long enough to rest it.
Rest assignates the weary man who sees

dark clouds ahead and a thick rain
obscuring the afternoon.  Longing is a sign

of another desire he might wish to have
revealed:    what prompted this town, what limits

this valley, what passions carried the trail
through here—whose eminence should we
	address?
