Turquoise water—
God or weather had made the way
for what could have been brown with silt
but not on this day—
clear was the Little Colorado River
as it careened past quick sand
past boulders
and sacred places
into the confluence
of rivers

What we need … a clear Colorado River. I enjoyed your quadrille.

Love the idea of the water careening to the confluence of rivers….I’m reminded of a cruise we took to Alaska and a hike we took up to a glacier….where, sadly, the glacier was melting into a stream, and it was gaining in strength as the stream went down hill….careening over rocks etc. Great use of the word here! So glad you posted to the prompt!
