Wallowa River: Midnight

Wallowa River: Midnight

building pyramids in the fireplace
rocking the barge in conversation
just there in a flurry of snowflakes
a dozen deer wait to cross, oh so
politely (a notable moment) - it is
once in a blue moon at the ice-end
of Wallowa Valley, and no matter
the time-era-epoch, these tiny
local epics go mostly unmemorialized
