Air Connections

By Karen Wolf

--

My upside-down soul floats

through a snow bound field past

barn boards that lean into

river’s jettisoned

bargains between blue gills

and egrets, rock

and moss attachment never

argued or symbiosed until

fossilized. I inhale

air exhaled

by camels, Galapagos

tortoises, Cro

Magnon bafflement. As the earth

breathes, colors fading punctuate

hibernating brown re

born greens, rain

filled clouds that work to

sustain nematodes, elephants and

critical zebra

blending.
