Forever Footpath
… on a certain day
as, on foot, I make my way
along the ever-present stream
that runs, blood-red,
down from the mountains,
on a certain path
hard-hewn
over hundreds of years
by thousands of travelers
man, and beast,
and wood-creatures
seldom-seen,
as I trod a byway
almost obscure,
yet so deep pounded into the clay
as to be carved secure
in granite,
and, as if a million chisel-steps
had planned it,
a certain history
of Cherokee
and those who went before
(or who then chose to follow)
unfolds.
And I wonder
about their lives
in these places,
… uncertain.
