Crooked River Thoughts at Night
prints and paintings
cannot capture the moonlight
on
the once burning river

deep winter
in the middle of the end
a
beginning

once you learn lightning can come
from

to having a distorted view
of

that old smile framed
by
chemo curls

holding the world to ransom

an anthill beneath
our
downspout

dream the float of a cellophane butterfly
