two kayaks...
lake mcdonald glacier national park
montana
to
curlew lake state park
washington
a hail storm
wild thunder lightning downpours
repeating showers & sun in ten minute
rainforest-like intervals
filling in the gap
between idyllic
fear
& the unexpected stamina
of your hands & a tent
shaking your insides at times
'cept for the young earthy awareness escape
of missoula
hopefully we're all passing thru this
sea change of consciousness
origins may be different
colors distinct
yet the clarity & chill of the water
all feels the same
