the air above
skin suddenly breaking
lets go of description
of shape previous
metamorphs
less dense
more expanding
everywhere
teases dry sand ground
coulee walls
promise
fills
for a time, she says
then leaves, departs,
flies back to
seattle
running near the Stilly
blackberries feel invasive,
they feel green
they feel bitter again,
growing along
bear scat & sullen
cougar tracks
they feel as if this time

spy on salmon catching
volunteer Indian plums
in open mouths, oh they catch
wild cherries

stones placed just so
red cedars are there
going places
that have
been
all along

fond rivers, forms, washington state

the snake, cold waters
palouse, hilled
crosses the clearwater

flooded in Shangri-La
clearing skagit bald
eagles
glacier glass verde
waves, stillaguamish
a snohomish woman
in a state
flowing clean
