where wild cranberries grow

Through a veiled grove
of golden leaves quaking
on an autumn whisper,

there is a valley where clear
springs spill over a rim
of granite into a pooled

reflection of shivering
moon, where wild blueberry
and fireweed flame a scarlet

edge for evergreens, and night
lights weave the tarp of stars
with jade and rose auroras.

Here, the step of Mother Earth
is a pliant tumble of tundra.
