Poem of the month:

​

March

​

Bird feeder’s

     snow-cap

          sliding

                off

​

Spring

      stood there

            all body

Head

        blown off

              (war)

showed up

       downstream

October

       is the head

           of spring

Birch, sumac

       before

             the blast

Lorine Niedecker

Poetry magazine, August 1965
