the dust wedge
of an unseen vehicle
runs down the dirt road.

its red cap
gives the mushroom away,
hiding in leaf litter.

the trail is straight;
the creek meanders —
trail feet — creek mind.

a dead tree
stands above the living;
it didn’t pace itself.

slender-stalked mushroom
stands straight & tall & still,
but not for long.

sapling grows in boulder,
splitting it in twain;
paper does beat rock.

Tree that sits mid-stream
is not your average tree.
Stillness amid flow?

invisible bugs
ripple the lake surface;
from here, it’s mirror.
