1.
Rear guard
battle for south
mountain,
headed for shelter.
running water,
open field, Gathland
Estate...Alfred Townsend
[was a journalist during the civil war]
had the war on his front porch.
2.
Gabow posed with ceramic soldiers,
they'd all marched through the
Shenendoah in June,
but this was 150 years apart,
and for different
reasons.
3.
Library no longer standing.
a barn made of stone,
the trail zig zag through property
mist, coming rain
moisture on bag, sticks, trees, miles
mind.
4.
filing water bottles,
filing them up.
bitten by a mosquito,
bite swelling up.
5.
In a flash
Mercury
a memorial
message from the gods,
thunder,
newspapers,
pencils
typewriters
ink
go
in a flash
AT Poems VI
