RIVER AND
HIGHWAY IN CASCADE MOUNTAINS
Pacific Northwest
My leg caught something and hooked around it. The current
washed over me and pushed me up against something solid. It was a tree trunk
which shifted on the large rocks it leaned upon the river bank. I wrapped my
arms around the tree and tried to slide up out of the water. My head hung
loosely over the side; My face sank against the bank. I tried to fill my lungs
with air…water poured out of my mouth from deep within me. I anticipated my
breath like I was awaiting an eclipse – for my will to live and means to live
to converge. I could only sip air to quench a thirst. I could not slack. My eyes
burned and I could barely make out the shore. I could feel the river on my outstretched
fingertips. The trunk was sliding…gently rolling me back into the rolling
river.
