of frozen guts
thirsty dog
the pond’s ice creaks
under her weight

to rescue children drowning in a river. One of them has already grown fins and a tail.

where I left it
bronze Gandhi
patina sending tendrils
toward the earth
In Weimar
the very trees are smothered
in historic moss
unsettled sky—
studying the markings
of bark beetle larvae
