A ponderosa-scented breeze
is delivered downstream
to this peaceful place
on the high bank
overlooking
the Tularosa River
in New Mexico,
where I'm reading David Lee's
So Quietly the Earth.
Read, and look at my wife.
Read, then listen to the stream.
Read, and inhale the vanilla fragrance.
Read, then write about rivers and trees.
