Ride the plane equivalent of a minivan
Slumber in trailers with dirty sheets, but big windows
Northern lights unfold and undulate
Waterfalls without guardrails or names
Stone adorned with velvet lichen
Slumps into icy pools
A bison is struck by a semi
Two men butcher it beside the highway
Quick work no waste
Hand me the blade
Slick, hot skin held taut to separate
flesh from fur
A giant heart sits on clean cardboard
Ready to be claimed by Elders
The hide is too torn to save
Watch the fox circle the village
On Fridays she sits on graves
Welcoming home the spirits

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Oh. glad you shared this one. This is very vivid in its descriptions. This is great and again...the brevity. Saying so much with so few words is a skill!
Excellent poets..🦊🐺
Another great poem!
Oooo, this was so intense. I especially loved the velvet lichen!
