Overexposed

tall grass and fallen timbers
a woman in trees
too daintily clad to go too far into the stream
she wades and waves

fishing in forgotten time
fishing in the wake of someone leaving
climb up and stumble on
the tall grass a landscape and mountains further on

she drives a red truck
have you seen her?
with long legs, a bikini top
sunburned and brown

a woman fishing
fly fishing
alone one afternoon
the Montana big blue sky arching on

she passed out through the gate
moving on another road
up there and ahead of me
nameless and without voice

she must have seen the bride and groom
standing on that hilltop in the sun
posing pictures against the alpine backdrop
the film overexposed
