Thank you, Leslie!



            a favored lunar room Tibet
          with moths & flags instinctive
          festival fruit a praying mantis lives
          on our porch it’s gotta be that
          raccoon slipping through the arts
          & crafts paper all sentient beings
          mad with pitched battles & tones
          imagine being able to sleep
          again what’s in that darkness
          & light upon the day it’s every
          leaf & wheel it growls & inside
          us sisters proceed in the drunken
          valley our hands in greater
          reeds humming

                                                 Leslie Bumstead
