“Runoff”
Silt and debris run
down from the countryside to
rinse and wash the land.

Blue sky rushes by,
mirroring the river wide-
twin ribbon highways.

Perched above her range
the queen surveys. I bow to
her magnificence.

Peripheral blurs,
Light fades as vision caves in,
Trapped in the blackness.

This great river makes
a better boundary than
a line on the map.

These sweet summer days
A festival of light, warmth-
and I’m here at work.

If red sunrise means
that blood was spilled, would not the
sun always be red?
Steve D
The oak wavers not;
stable, inexorable,
spreading its root wide.
Steve D
Rose, magenta, peach –
all ripple and weave on the
early horizon.
