rio abajo

I fall into the flow of your hands, a cradle to carry me
past the poems of the cottonwood, stories newly born
in the spring winds.

drought has reduced you to a meandering ribbon
among the islands of willow and saltcedar.
But there is enough of you to carry enough of me,
the currant a melody of miles.

I will stay until we are both lost in the sea.
