Featuring Lyn Lifshin
North of Cotton Wood

rose lichen
     gamble oak
                  globe mallow


       bent in rain

     blue lupine

     juniper mistletoe

it rains and keeps raining

these rocks
pulled from each other

two million years ago
  
wrenched like a woman
whose child is grabbed

on a cattle car

     smashed into stone

her eyes, streaked
like tonight’s sky

a Monday, all sipapu,

a spirit entrance

into the underworld
