Santa Fe

Think of trails, human, animal.

Start here, end up in Mexico,

or trace the Old Trail coming in

from everyplace to end here.

Walk beside Acequia Madre,

mother ditch with a trace of water

rich with reeds rotten with time.

The river peters out to grit, slivers

of shattered glass, piles of shit,

human, animal.
