things
occur to me
like
wings
of crested cormorants
box turtles
and salamanders
crossing roads
toads
none seen this year
though one
I hear was found in the arugula
sturgeon
and
nanaimo fisheries
and
above,
higher, colder than the lakes
an ulu of a moon
white
rain
again
inches of it
and the black river
not as black as
this room
a shadow
flying
at the edges of this lamp
