Turbid, turgid, flood-swollen turbulent Waters wrestle and shout through graygreen Shadow-woods: aspen, willow, maple; Ancient oak pregnant with burl-trunk bulge, Lightning-scarred; windtorn prickle-brush. Drip drizzle rain puddles. Musky mold Scent rises from fogmist. Squirrels scuttle. Doe and fawns freeze, flinch, flee. I am stream and tree, earth and sky, as I Splashstep, sideslip on slither-leaves, Leap rock, kick root, stride over stone, Scan for blazes to signal trail turns, Gasp nature-air, soar over ridgetop angle— Then angel-fly downslope again to land. |
