The Anatomy of a Season
The core
of the Fall/Winter cusp
is the bone, the vertebrae
the mystery of the tree
is the spine
of the eaten fish
and the earth
becomes the frozen crust
of an unleavened bread
soon
the steelheads
will run in the river.
—(Excerpted from Bear Stew, Peter Kidd. Igneus Press (1996))
