snowmelt

migraine blue, grass rituals,
hoofprints, screams, thirst

crows with finger wings. 
occupied by airplanes, foreclosure on my hearing, sense bandwidth. 

rodent-deer, eating houses by the hundreds. 
I found poop, on the path 
and butterflies eating it. 

snowmelt is training season
can stay light and go long, 
no need to carry water. 

decades unboxed like boxcar songs. 
good sweat wet earth tongues 
explorer streams until thirst wanes
inner water dries where it is, 
mid-chase.
