Along the Ice Age Trail
by Darrell Petska
storm blown through—
skeins of sunlight
cascade from clouds
sight unfettered
scudding like spindrift
toward old Michi-gami
step-wise, finespun
transubstantiation
forgetting feet
the ways of flesh
by tailing winds
laid bare
thought scattering
on ancestral dust
green-grown
