Tim Barrus: A River Dries To Rock and Dust

The river is low. No one has ever seen it this low. Forest Fire Alerts are Up And Running. In December. We had rain last night. But the river fails to cover the rocks. It is hanging on. We are all hanging on. It’s not up to us. We didn’t do it.

Well, we did it but we didn’t mean to. The river was a well. Dead bodies of dogs float by.
