In The Green Circle - 7/3/07








beneath the poe tree
a cloud of wings lift

me and I rise and converge
with all the poems

ever written, and my
heavy limbs fall away

as I hear your voices
your lyric cadence

frog throats and cricket
legs and the swale

full of water this night
before Independence.
