Intuition About The New Missoula

A valley so large
one melt made the icy reservoir break
what was left was a shaggy map.

Here a gardenia beside my desk
the moon's outline bumpy
it was light until seven
water was silky with salt
hau leaves.  One guy--
tourist?--said that he takes risks
yes many calculated risks
he takes risks all the time.  You
must be lucky.  Your
brain has not been left as a residue
devoured by the standards.
