Sun slips, colors deepen, the river and me, we pulse toward gracious evening
Each blink a seamless rock-rolling picture show.
Summer’s green still flecked with Spring, early berries flushed like Fall
A she-merganser showing me with dandy splash how to catch
Both a ride and a meal on the planet’s prettiest stream on the year’s finest day,
Everyone immersed in this easy-hard role, unfailing flow
Of give and take
