scratched and exhausted, one turns suddenly
to find an unexpected waterfall,
not half a mile from the nearest road,
a spot so hard to reach that no one comes —
a hiding place, a shrine for dragonflies
and nesting jays, a sign that there is still
one piece of property that won't be owned.

but slanted so that each detail
sounds unexpected as a sharp
inserted in a simple scale.

but you put it where your mouth is.
And it talks.
