POETRY | By IB Iskov
 
A haze rises in a morning
surrounded by trees,
advances
like buffalo in a field,
fading before dawn
 
A sift of light
evaporates in a wisp
like nothing ever happened
 
One of those days
not so different from this
shadows went missing
in abandoned fields,
finely spun skins
 
Memory is stubbly grass, dry leaves,
a blank page
collected in clear plastic
the demise of sweet history
meager cadaver
recycled, rehashed, replayed
 
In a moment or in an hour
the whole sky may blow,
breeze its way
through shudders of time
swoop and dip in landscape,
repeat the poem
