Northeast Iowa

Uncertainty’s story reveals August glory

In furious signal to all I might hope

to find; unsmiling passage up crowded

hills, empty landscape’s visual mills

A tensile spring rebound across bodily

string: unifying theory of electricity

weary. Disequilibrium resolves to energetic

resolve, while ad infinitum jabs prevent

ataraxia scrawls; but that’s not the

point, my feet in the river: defining

the words without absurdity shiver.

Perilous this game of power full chance,

Reckon I’ll blame my cower askance

On whoever I see with a sturdy

parlance. Framing undone out here in the

woods, fingers can’t point, they’re on

handlebars good. Instinct to rest

wrested into place: a bunch by the

creek, unmoving this race.
