The first time I notice the yellow signs
on the highway warning for a creek,
I expect the road to rise up for a bridge,
so I'm surprised when the road dips
with signs for a flood zone and tall
posts to indicate the depth of water
on the road. But there is no water.
Instead, the clustering of large trees
on either side of the road provide
a clue that a creek rain here recently,
even though it's just a smooth, treeless
path through the foliage that tells of rain.
