eleven levitate



cloak of day snapped          tassels and velvet orchestra

to mine the clouds     deep gray hillock     eye of tree

a parting has occurred          water pools between ridges

nuthatch descends head first while cattails switch

ecco of songbird fills tunnel and emerges as a worthy character

tall stalks entwined with whisper and jostle 
are topped with beacons

in linen gown she climbs mound
 under gaze of wise tree she wades through grasses
 small birds keen from scrub as she kneels by craggy pond 

she bathes in spring and swallows her scars
