Origins

Oudwalla origin
origami folds
of earth and light.
Osage.
Ozark plateau.
Enfold, entreat, entry.
Escaparpment
over blue spring water.
Exclamation.
Punctuate dawn
with fog,
phantom horse tails
flicking the first sun
from the back
of mountains grown smaller,
swallowing their own mystery
with a sinkhole.
Susserating oak,
hickory, ash, walnut,
tulip, river willow,
honey locust, black locust...
summer speaking
in tongues of waiting.
