Poetry: Poets, like Trackers

September 18, 2021 by Edward Zahniser 2 Comments

Poets, like Trackers

What is anything like, but something else?
It’s up to us to connect those unseen dots
Whether written on unfolded envelopes
Or vapor signs of skywriting bi-planes
Sometimes animal disturbances in the dew
Mud prints in the beaver pond’s runway
Breath condensed on a windowpane
Audible sighs of a loved-one asleep.
