Backyard of the Monson/Gors farm, Beresford, S.D.

On Falls Park, Sioux Falls:

short falls ready-mix,
river flows into foam and
postcard fodder

shallow falls belching
foam, clouds effervescing
garbage muck from clear

On latticework at the Monson/Gors farm:

vines and lattice work,
meant to be to sodden scenes,
await all the brides

On the Monson/Gors farm:

blackbirds dive drunk . . .
Christ’s marionettes, serving
as shadowed warnings

nature’s languages,
distant like Italian, and
sung in falsetto
