*by Keith Phelps*

How fitting is it  
That sandhill cranes call   
To the fertile south

That grapes disorder  
Themselves with their daughter wasps   
As colors bruise forth

Fitting that soon we will hear   
Whispers of old gears halting   
Bringing the truths of

Tracks laid down in snow   
The different routes made   
In only one direction

I long to translate   
The words gurgling in   
Your sabotaged talk

Even your eyes cease  
To tell of signs and wonders   
As your breath recedes

Ebbing out cold like  
The tides you patrolled in life   
To throw back beached whales

Soon your vessel will  
Lay plastic like the moments   
We came to forget

Soon I will wander  
A broken home full of ghosts   
All cloaked in their wars

Soon you will come to   
Others as insects and rain   
And the Ash burning
