O OXBOW



"O Oxbow," Montana BLACK spray paint and papercut paint chip sample on 4" x 6" recycled cardboard postcard.

One of the cards I sent out as part of my "O Eschaton" series of poems for the 2021 Poetry Postcard Fest.



O OXBOW

What a bend in the river
you are, O Oxbow—

a channel     a plan
reconfiguration

layer upon layer
accretion of soils and clay

ever shifting banks
and roiling rapids.

We think we can contain
you within dikes and chutes

knowing all too well
your yearn to curve.
