Poem from a week on the Buffalo River in Arkansas, summer of 2008
Two kingfishers
Half a dozen brim
Two blue gill
Nineteen spiders
Two water snakes
10,000 sycamores
562 bluffs
Three thunderstorms
Six black-eyed susans
One tent wasp
40 x 11 no-see-ums
62 short rapids
Five camp fires
Nine hanging gardens of maiden hair ferns
One “Little Niagara”
Three tents
49 Great Blue Heron
Three canoes
6 x 12 stories
One beginning, in a glass of blueberry wine.
