JEMEZ SPRINGS, NEW MEXICO


morning

tall elms sift down
the paper pennies of old bloom
the paper coin of their seed

        noon

        in high
        green branches
        of the cottonwoods

        angels touch down
        dissolve

        move on

sunset

        light from the river
        dazzles the flecked air

        and stars crack open
        in the poplar trees


        night

        shadowy water
        water
        watersound

        all
        night long
        the lulling

        river
