teaching seamus heaney’s bog body poems today, so we took a quick pit stop at lima bog sna on the way back to milwaukee from our ancestral home in rock cty yesterday.

got right into the tamarack stand, but not enough time to get to the open lake at its bogheart. next time!

a.

in the new gloaming

golden cloud

of tamarack sleep

b.

in a mackerel sky,

two wingspans

and a rainbow globe

c.

asters in the sedge

looking out,

petals to water
