On a strange day, the interior voices
accompany danger. Grand rapids sap
whatâs near, pleasures plunge,
two voices mysteriously revolt:
one to accompany ancient temperatures,
another to attend errant horses
with salubrious, clear
ventings. Pigeons regard the clear
noises: eerie plus courageous. A soldier forest
cheers. Fate shakes three trinkets
from the stump of its old arm.
Diana S. Adams is author of Hello Ice, Theaters of the Tongue, and Cave Vitae.
