David Morgan
Excerpt from KotaPress Poetry Anthology Volume 3, 2003

Along the South Fork

Scales of fish can be seen in angles
of diffraction as you talk
of your mother’s breast and your wish
to suckle from her the malignancy;
among these cedars that rest scorched

and fallen now, I can only think:
all this time we’ve been standing on ash.
