When we drive on the highway,
the signs spell out the creek names
as we pass over or through dry
dirt paths or on the rare occasion,
a creek bed that still has a puddle.
But they all have names, long
often complex names for the waterway
that only flows after heavy rains,
and I wonder when these creeks
last ran. Does anyone make sure
that they run at least once a year
or could they be entirely dried up
and everyone assumes they must run
at another time of the year, a time
that's not now?
