The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poem Thread, 9/1/07
"September"

I walk the dike, the moon a sliver,
tipped up, as Mother would say,

to hold water. The river steams,
a kettle about to boil, all summer

in its water. Trees are thick
as the grass that wets

my tennis shoes. I walk,
swinging my hands, stop,

then force myself to turn
and face the river again,

a cauldron now, its vapor
rising in white mounds

above the green. I take
a deep breath, then release, see

my own life about to happen.

—Madelyn Camrud
