Toad Hall Times
fern roots, river water, boney rocks...art-making
stormy weather
we sat in the strom-darkened truckstop drinking the last of their coffee
          listening to hail & the words of the seneca woman
 
   before finding the black metal death traps and falling quickly in cold water
bone striking rock
 
                                   son of beech leaves and credit cards
                                   black storm wind rustling through your files
      But there's Venus and the crescent moon flitting behind ragged clouds
 
                   billy collins tells me poems are emotions
                   and the radio preacher tells me imagination is gone
                   coffees three and four
                   dark.
                   Only trucks.
                   And dark.
