YELLOW BUTTERFLIES / A GOOD STICK FOR RIVER CROSSINGS. WHITE LIGHT OF A FULL MOON NIGHT / LYING BY A CAMPFIRE A FROG HOPS ONTO MY LEG. SPARKS AND SATELLITES / SITTING IN A WHIRLPOOL HOLLOW ON A WARM BOULDER WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW / CROUCHING ALONG TRAILS AMONGST THORN TREES. A DRIFTWOOD BEND BELOW A HAWK'S PERCH / MUFFLED ECHOING SPLASHES OF STONES THROWN INTO THE RIVER BETWEEN CLIFFS, SHOOTING STAR / A HIGH CAMP ON A STONE RIVERBED BY A TREE SPLITTING THE ROCK / TWO WATERMARKS BELOW TWO RAVENS BEFORE WALKING ON. GETTING HIGHER COLDER WINDIER CLOUDIER / THE SMELL OF PINES. THE PATTERN OF THE NEEDLES ON MY SLEEPING MAT/LYING IN COLD SUNSHINE DRINKING SOUP FOR LUNCH TALKING OF THIS AND THAT / DOWSING THE EMBERS AND LEAVING OUR RIVER STICKS. ORION MOVING BETWEEN THE PINES/DUSTY FOOTPRINTS THROUGH THE SNOW. SITTING WARM BENEATH THE SMOKE OF A CAVE FIRE."
