Random rill
     capers and cuts a course....
                    rewriting the old road.

Stepping from shadowed forest,
   sunlight diffused -
fog wraps distant peaks.

Pines and fir drip
      in early morning mist -
Rainbow over brown ferns.

Rusted water wheel;
   sits silent in the ripples
        rushing past.

pentagram of twigs
     'neath the gnarled remains
            of a grey sycamore

Wild grape
        twines the Sycamore
over scores of cairns.

Old stone wall
sporting lichens
by the irrigation channel
