The Round Rock

Statues in the park
at Chisholm Trail Crossing stand
as founding markers

They named their new town
for the rock in Brushy Creek
where their steps touched down

Memory goes back
further in history with
fossils in the cracks

Rushing waterfall
in this spot the migrators
could not cross at all

Post rain, the fauna
travel far and they are tired:
