A rock. But it knows. Streams are enlightened and tread it beautifully.
A large arrowhead rock
in the center of the flow,
directs the creek
down a small fall,
as if the water
were too confused
or too timid
to find it's own way
to the Colorado below.
Water has a memory of its own.
It knows how to fall and flow,
cascade and play.
It understands the need
to scour out canyon walls.
to the path they must take,
