Prairie Vespers: when the chokecherries are black moon
“Red-winged Blackbird, Meadowlark
soft prairie songs
silence, coyotes listening on the horizon
* * *
more meadowlark songs, snipe winnowing
a few stars, planets appear to be floating in water
near the celestial moon
maybe she is
a winged one too.”
– Gwendolyn Morgan
