Ode to Klickitat Cabin
— for Henry & Betsy
Joann Renee Boswell
noise pollution scant,
echo drift sound-surround
click-a-click-a-click-a-tat
keyboard grounded,
conjoined trees skyrocket
cascade kerfuffle overhead
crunch-a-crack-a-racket
pine cones crash collide
Earth-bound like these words,
whirling brain-mirrors,
virile temptresses yurt-lure,
shimmer south, cicada
plants irreverent rhythms,
Vivaldi applauds trip
into posterity, pines persist,
drop seeds, plunging deeper,
thud soft as August sweet
grass, trembling virginal
wedding night, clouds
besotted butter-dish-glide,
simmer soil tryst
sun-ripened blackberry lips,
butterfly super powers
elevate, Pine-Elevator, lift
transcendent mortality, fly
final kiss, dip, encircle eternal
indebted atmosphere swoon.
globe me whole.
