Unseen Wisconsin Falls
hidden in thick growth
lush forests seen
narrow road off highway
an even narrow path
leads to the falls
bubbling over rocks
off somewhere
fading sun
and shadows
silence of dusk
falling,
I’m falling
into a dream
brief conversations
with nature
something left unsaid
check in at a hotel
darkness hides the land
philosophical conversations
about destinations
with the clerk at the gas station
a lone truck rumbles
through the crossroads
on the way to somewhere
red lights streak darkness
moments of solitude
to ponder
