time to replant
flamingos
Author: Dave Bonta
I live in an Appalachian hollow in the Juniata watershed of central Pennsylvania, and spend a great deal of time walking in the woods. My books of poetry include FAILED STATE: HAIBUN, ICE MOUNTAIN: AN ELEGY, BREAKDOWN: BANJO POEMS, and ODES TO TOOLS.
pruning season
the angel of history’s
prosthetic wings
parking lot
mountains that used to be snow
bleeding out
which cloud
harbors the sun
winter aconites
spring migration
caravans
of sandstone
skull
that ain’t a skull
winter’s end
where the sun
don’t shine
porcupine
fallow
mountaintop field
feeding clouds
snowshoes
as old as I am
raw hide
if I can’t dance
it’s not my revolution
winter trees
the shock of recognition
ant gallery
Brush Mountain
the upward mobility
of water
