(First Reading)
Bluegrass
Hints of honeysuckle
in the air
a skunk’s slow progress
told by the trembling
of tassel grass and
pokeweed
an indigo bunting
feeding on seeding
thistle
both silk—the thistle
white
the bird electric blue
the swell of corn fields
pilings of clouds with
the sun breaking through
as Hans Christian Andersen
said on his deathbed
“Oh God, I could kiss you”
