Mountain Stream
I have not seen a mountain stream in many years
no clear, rushing water
nor tasted the earthy flesh of a once darting fish
taken from is watery home
cooked over a fire built between rocks on the bank
fingered out and eaten flesh
nor felt that cold water wash my fingers clean
splashing upon my bare feet
all right, so I never have at all
but I see it, feel it, taste it in my head
I could go there
