The Sound of Sunlight
Todd Davis
On the far side
of the canyon(峡谷)
light
is burning
through two
draws
like water
rushing
into an empty
riverbed.
A canyon wren
opens
her mouth
and a coyote(丛林狼)
stops
midtrail
before vanishing
among juniper.
As we descend
the eastern wall
we look
down
onto
ponderosa
pine
and witness
the shadow
of a merlin
chase
the merlin(灰背隼)
itself.
Behind us
in the meadow
where we lay
last night
the squall
of an elk
picks up
the sound
of sunlight
and joins it
in a flood
of bugling(喇叭,军号).
