The magic of new mexico sweetgrass
cedar
jasmine
sage
words
finding the rio
current
where the gravel begins
feet happy

a few canadians
in
a truck picked me up while
hitchhiking
and
reminded me of
love

combat nurse

The river dreamed
and still dreams
bubbles deep rising

all the wounded
all the sick
you found a way to
heal

a true trout stream
where chemicals don't exist
anymore
