Why I Didn't Fish

Willows at the edge of windy canyon flutter,
switchback winding one lane road and cold
gravel track, rock debris, a downward grade.

Rushing water currents thundering like wind
through pine trees and crooked oak. Reddish
sediment, swirling haystack, eddies and seam.

Yellow leaves like sunrise to shadowy forest,
tree stumps, fallen logs, and gray boulders,
sandy slope lake bottom exposed in October.
