American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

Lahontan


 All along the lakeshore—gathering
 jewels of dusk-time light

 from lanterns, from bonfires
 and jockeying headlights—

 the cottonwoods stilled to a black
 intaglio on the sunset, some wind-

 smeared clouds above.  Music drifts
 across the water, ripped and modern.

 The last light sits upon the lake.
 The wind paints it.
