Songs for The Whole Salmon

Headwaters :: read complete text
Basin springs this winter:
channels of cold water,
rushing in small ice canyons;
streams forming Salmon River


Salmon, Idaho :: read complete text
I must read history wrong:
A line or two about Natives,
countless so-called founders.
Why does a tiny set tell the story?


Sunbeam Dam :: read complete text
Rushing past what could have been.
Often a phrase of missed doings;
Yet dams, mines, cows and people
left only traces or ruins; Agkai lives.


A river and work :: read complete text
Pristine: A wild, natural
stream in a snow-capped frame;
Destined for pixels, paints or song.
Hey, even writers work on this river.


Confluence :: read complete text
For Sale: Riggins gold claim;
bedrock exposed near channel.
Worked by hand a century ago …
And now, and now, I hope retired
