Animas River Woman of Durango

 

I awoke to a cold
ground blizzard, the
chill factor well below
zero, the traders had made
trips to the woodpile, the warmth
of the crackling fire thawed my eyelids,
I saw her on traders row in the San Juan,

kokanee salmon lying
on her table, Jim Bridger,
the first white man to set eyes
on her, stopped his wagon filled
with gunpowder, balls, flints, bear
traps, and whiskey, asks Kit Carson,
who she is. Bridger takes off his beaver
hat, turns it up, throws inside it a bottle of
whiskey and sets it on her table, "Raise a little
Cain, Animas River Woman of Durango," he said,
picked up one of her kokanee salmon and walked
off to his wagon for a cast-iron skillet and cooked
his fish trade over the crackling fire,

The buckskin tipis
weaved through the vertical
trunks of the tightly-packed dog-hair
lodgepole, the sounds are intimate, the
grunts and snorts of the elk where rut has
come, the ground near the Animas river muddy
with elk prints, the big bull tearing up the sod with
his antlers, I make my way to Animas River Woman
of Durango before the men get to her in rut season,

I set my bubbling
cauldron of homemade
soup and a special flint on
her table, and picked up one
of her kokanee salmon, "Raise
a little Cain, Animas River Woman
of Durango," I say, Jim Bridger I laid
eyes on her first, you see, it's all how you
do your trading and your priorities, the errant
tomahawk sliced my trade fish I am holding, Kit
Carson's throw way off course in the men's
competition trader's row games, black powder
shooting, bow and arrow, trap setting, skillet
throwing, and the like,

"bring the whiskey,
Animas River Woman of
Durango," I motion her to my
tipi not about to find myself empty
handed after months of isolation and
hardship, I demonstrate my primitive
fire starting technique, our rendezvous
hot, the flint scintillating our naked flesh,

Mesa Verde cliffdwellers
arrive with their pots, a very
welcome sight on trader's row,
Jim Bridger offers Animas River
Woman of Durango and I, Sweetwater,
a hand in taking down our tipis and took
us off in his wagon journeying on to the
The Four Corners through Ignacio, Cortez,
and Mesa Verde where we met Stone Creek
Woman who pointed up to a bird in the sky
and said, "It is up to the pinon jay where to
fly next, but there is no reason not to observe
its flight."

thank you so much for this, but i haven't added many friends, or been on CtI very much either. Working on my book. I need to do a broadcast, like to everybody. is there a way? trying to form that society. should i, what, invite everyone, one by one, to be my friend? Surely, there's an easier way to reach everyone? thanks, Sage. For some reason i think you'll like Wave on Wave, which I posted tonight on AD. Take care and have a great summer. i met the subject of WOW (interesting acronym, huh?) through another friend on AD. By the way, if you have nothing better to do, I'd love your feedback on The Plums of childhood, the humorous memoir/autobiog. first chapter isn't numbered. the rest are. you're working too hard! and i can't find writing work to save my life! not in town, not online! thanks again, j.

Hello Sage,

Thank you for the very kind comments regarding ELEMENTAL. I'm glad to know the selection met with your approval and thank you once again for your valued participation in the CTI First Anniversary Funtest shenanigans :-)

Looking below at Robby Baby's endorsement of your wine, I'm going to have to save up so I can treat myself to a bottle.

Much Peace and Many Blessings to You and Yours,

Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity. Applicants should be at least 17 years old and members are allowed one full profile per person.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.
