The Waterfalls of Oregon

 The Waterfalls of Oregon

 

Multnomah Falls

Alsea

Koosah

Bridal Veil

Fairy

Cascade

Salt Creek

waterfalls everywhere

from all the rain

snowmelt

over moss-soft stones

giant cedar logs

swift currents

tumbling

down

down

down

 

Then there is this:

waterfalls of spring

petals from the trees

white, red, fuchsia pink

scattered all around

shaken by the wind

in pools on the street

falling

falling

falling

 

Last night

riding my bike home

in the chain-oil rain

when suddenly a rainbow

a spray of pink

a waterfall of petals

a shower of color
