Salt Creek

Salt Creek

Twisted barbed wire

Like a crown of thorns

Calls back to a day forlorn

The weathered winter

And moss on the tree

Echo back from eternity

The roots spread

Into the mirrored glass

Of river—flowing past

Salt Creek flows ancient

As the ocean—Layered history

Rust, roots and rock—antiquity
