Hiking up to Bear Falls
Start in Telluride,
Colorado,
vacation spot of rich
and famous.
As you pick your way up
the dirt road,
maybe stars pass you by
in the daylight.
Take photo of city of cairns,
or stop and build one
yourself.
Spot elk, deer, rabbits,
squirrel.
Stand on the embankment
looking down,
way down to the river.
Murmur polite greetings
on narrow path.
Gaze in wonder at the
falls,
though they’re not that
big.
The wonder is more about
if you’ll make it all
the way back down.
