Santa Cruz River Hut In Southern Arizona — Image by kenne
A little hut, the stuff
of leaves and twigs
provides shelter for
an unknown person.
A stuffed monkey guards
the entrance where a bucket
sits for collecting water
from the nearby river.
Stop this day with me
we will talk of its beginning
talk of its end, never any more —
for now, I witness and wait.
The minute-hand moves slowly
as the sun falls behind a nearby hill
still enough light to make it
back to the trailhead.
