in a salt marsh
in a lush gorge
against a glacier
* * *
at sunrise twelve horses
set out far below
a totem pole at sunrise in a salt marsh
horses set out below a totem pole
of twelve waterfowl trumpeting
at sunrise, yes, twelve horses
set out far below waterfowl
in a salt marsh
graze for yourself in a lush gorge
the agenda opens rhododendron
or a bald eagle on ash-covered slope
growling, yes, rhododendron openly graze
in a lush gorge under the bald eagle
the agenda of fish covering a slope
there, the rhododendron blooms
growl in the lush night, in its gorge
the agenda you graze, hovering
no bald eagle on ash-covered slope
growls its agenda on ash-covered
rhododendron grazing into night
