twilight over the Missouri
the shadow of ghost trees
paper birched and shedding:
a black current near the mud
and shells of clam and oyster
silver-sprinkle deep infested earth:
the coyote comes, the otter,
a few beavers, a family of possum
a then a bobcat thirsty-strong:
night begins to shade everything with new
songs reaching into the growing
dark, the bobcat splashes water on its face
twilight thick with trees, crickets, a forest
