Andrew Hemmert<\/p>\n
Stippled with ghost-white
\nwater roses, the river slips through<\/p>\n
cypress. Lightning drips from
\nclouds, bright veins in<\/p>\n
grey flesh. By April
\nrain my tracks\u2019 message is<\/p>\n
damned to erasure, but I am
\nin good company — here,<\/p>\n
fox prints follow a heron\u2019s
\npath, and winding lines show a snake\u2019s<\/p>\n
escape. I too
\noffer my signs<\/p>\n
to soft earth, my foot
\na stamp<\/p>\n
in shore mud
\nsealing wax.<\/p>\n
