edge of Lake Agassiz
glacial waters of massive inland ocean
lapping these shores
I hang on to tree branches stepping up
rocks and sand under feet
I’m not sure why I’m here
sore knee hindering speed
but it feels good
rough touch of tree bark on palm
rising upward
eyes glaring dusty setting sun
I don’t reach the top in my dream
wake up in blanketed bed in Red River valley
back at the bottom of the lake
flat prairie pilgrim
