Yellow Feast



Do you like the taste of Brittlebrush?

Are the petals tender or sweet?

Must take many flowers

to climb canyon slopes,

ford the tumbling Colorado.



I followed you here

while you crossed the creek,

back and forth

back and forth,

finally stopping neck deep amongst 10,000 suns.



Yes, I would eat you,

though know you would not me.

What do you know?
