Microcosm
by Nick Squadere
SHINKICHI TAKAHASHI said
that rivers & mountains exist
within a single
tuberous
crop
I drift in the cool / dark / waters
of my Hudson
underneath
seeds of light
Orion drawing his bow
causes
catfish to rise
at my fingertips
and I take them home
in the summer
to my daughter picking raspberries
Where I fry them up with butter and some potatoes.
