Beth Myhr

sea-grey
            ravished heart

 wild license    open country
       of apple flowers

 immaculate mountain
snowmelting

           
gray-eyed blowdown 
whispers fire
whispers 
moonlight

 tumbling ocean meadow 
violet and falcon and stone


-------------------


a river bends through the grass
building a sash of light 

the years are written in the grass

the sun’s a broken window
bend like those who are released
