Sunday Drive Corrales

the sun is split evenly

between the river and

blossoming clouds

corrales

by the roadside

a poet waves to passersby

hawks his wares

the pumpkin people smile

in their bright gingham shirts

hold up a cheerful spring sign

he wishes them pie

a girl radiant

on a blue bike

she has a white basket

gracefully pedals by

she brings him all of spring's pink blossoms

daunting blues

mountain shadows

cottonwoods scarred by time

their comforting shade

fading voice

of a poet making change

in the shimmer

of a young girl's

eyes
