Paddling a canoe
along the great red and layered bluffs
at Homer Martin Ranch
Where the beautiful Llano River
takes a hard left
I saw a roadrunner
on the tip top of the cliff
standing in a mixture
of sage, cactus, agarita, and cedar
looking down on us
specks on the sparkling river
envious
wishing it could change its name
and be a river runner too.
