August Evening On The Missouri River
The sun pearlsReflecting bright and soft
Cicadas sing of resolved sex.
Uncertain black quicksilver river rushes by.
Confused cobalt sheet pink-lined
Water sounds a symphony
Serene and hopeful
Haze hides herons,
Catfish kickin'/channel lickin',
Where the wishing star follows.
Time and I take a break,
Red-mouthed moon eats treetops
With barefoot scattered sky.
Don't walk away.
