Horseapples and yellowbells
for Trish
Twenty years from now
will we remember chewed hay horseapples
and yellowbells
hard mud paths between the ponderosa
bright green moss
hanging from their blackened limbs
and buttercups
a carpet spread
over these Blue Mountain pastures.
We rise above the Bitterroot
walk beneath the Bitterroots
no bitterroot in bloom yet.
Now mountain bluebirds flit between fence posts
and cotton candy dots a sapphire day.
Afar, the Sapphires turn bright emerald
and yet,
twenty years from now the living won't remember.
Me? The dead do not forget.
