FROM THE OTHER
SIDE OF KNOWING
All morning reading poems
and this post card, blank,
already stamped. Like
it has someplace to go,
Juneau say, song-making
water over stone,
gnome-like visible
north to Nome
among left-handed
cut-bank creeks. My
friend who marshals
his queen, magician-like
to do his will might
think himself God
attacking perceived power,
his blind move. She,
who is only stubborn
listens for the misunderstood
chuckle of her minted smile.
