The snowmelt water is pouring out of the mountains and the high country is opening up! These haiku by Marsh Muirhead, featured in the new issue of Deep Wild: Writing from the Backcountry, put me in the mood for tundra!
rising creek
the murmur of shifting rocks
in conversation
I hike my shadow
into
the mountain’s shadow
what it lands on
the sound
of rain
whatever
they want
wildflowers
