What Day Is It?

Water eddies an object.

Duck becomes deer

becomes volcanic rock.

Here in this ditch,

a chunk of

the West Mesa.

Things I don’t know when

I’ll see again

flash before me:

meadow,

overlook,

aspen grove.

They meet

what I’ve just seen:

dragonfly,

rabbit,

roadrunner,

hummingbird.

Where?

What day?

How long?
