history writes with water
I hike along the creek,
and I change where I’m going
according to how I can answer the issue
of how to cross the water,
a bridge is not what nature gives us,
and a ford works in lower water if it’s okay if you get wet,
I look up the hill and see a path
carved above the cliffs so that, even in flood, travel can work,
trails and roads snake through mountains
the ways water shows us how,
I am fascinated by how much of history
has been written by water.
