the far forests burning
in my throat
death in spring
finding his green tent
fallen in
hidden bells
under the greenbriar
a tendril’s zero
the mountain
found in a cloud
flowering dogwood
foamflowers
soak in the rushing
waterthrush song
blue-headed
in the sun-flooded forest
vireo
red maple
sex organs playing
in the wind
end of winter
wet snow resting
on a bench
spent spikes
of American cancer-root
a zipless fly
snow-covered mountains
the paper plant’s
white plume
snowy path
crossed by a crow’s footprints…
church bells from town
damp leaves
left by the winter’s snow
a shed antler
