town

 

Summer festival--
a dozen little towns
dot the river's banks!

 

 

 

double yellow

 

smoke and haze, 

up and down the St. Croix trail --

double yellow lines

 

the oarsman

 

verdant now, a forest

rises above the banks--
the oarsman

struggling upstream

 

 

 

Autumn Ginko: October 2010

leaf viewing
a black ribbon unwinds
on pace with the sun

















oak leaves tossed about
on a sudden wind --
that sense of falling
















cool steel
set deep in the rock
the current always constant




























all but in vain
lumbermen search for the key
a river made from trees




























something's forgotten
down those damp hollows --
in the glacier's garden


















stones and gravel
sheared right through --
the glacier asleep


















an idle contemplation
for the waters of Autumn --
Princess of the Falls




























memories, fleeting,
bear a lingering sweetness --
coolness in the pine















Interstate Park

4th of July (USA, 2017)

4th of July -
all the way across the river
one boat to the next
