Alpine Rodeo


Moss rock, creation’s paint pony, I long to ride your slippery saddle,
tugging toeholds of mint, watching sun-glint vapors dance on icy flow,
hands outstretched to grab the air as I fall, to right myself once and for all

before my once-proud form fails to last the eight-second ballet.

Nice imagery! Just one question...Did someone take a tumble on the ice today, Bob?

Uh... if I say yes, does it mean that I don't have a lick of imagination?

Actually, I didn't, but the thought of it is what made me recall walking in Colorado streams when I was much younger.
