Five Poems, Stephen Kuusisto
They speak of god along with cloud-esteem, sheep watching, plenty of softness.
They speak of god along with cloud-esteem, sheep watching, plenty of softness.
and by the end of the season we had / enough cash to make it down to Berkeley
These meanings make a map, / remain quiet, anticipate the construction
For a moment / the worm dazzled in the spotlight / before finding a small crack leading to tunnel,
I was the first to be known in this way.
Its roots scooped down below the well, and sprawled / in a web like the human nervous system ...
We know the taste of sassafras tea / and the ruckus of cicadas in the trees.
Every boundary line, / dam, trellis, and mended wall will rumble down.
illumination of loons in perennial occurrence ...
But still on these streets that wind through / the hills, on the country hills that squeeze / so much green out of such a short summer
