Broken like a Branch
Don Hynes
Challenged by the old fight
I hear another voice
miles from the road
along the basalt trail
to a creek that breaks
from her open mouth
with the grief of music
the knowledge of moss
and the part of me
broken like a branch
turned into dirt
falling with water
in a long drop
over smooth stone
into a canyon
with the deeper river
waiting.
