Skagway's Sacred Stream

Straddling Skagway's sacred silver stream;

September sunshine saturates spray scrawled silhouettes.

Stolen sapphires, seldom seen, splash silently serene.

-&-

Shimmering sharpened stones slash struggling spawning salmon;

Stubborn self sacrificing sex steered stoics,

Stouthearted suitors sowing successors survival seeds.

-&-

Somber spasmodic swaying signals sentients supreme surrender.

Shattered speckled scales supplant sacred spawning sand.

Someday soon succeeding salacious salmon shoals shall swarm Skagway's sacred stream.
