Minnows’ Ladder James Reidel Minnows’ Ladder— My name for a cascade and its pool, A bead along a feeder creek, (a blue hair on the county map), A landing in flat rock steps, Or broken locks leaking uphill for the green fingerlings that underpaint my reflection, Schooling in and out of a swirling eye that breaks the weave and this train, This carpet that sinks to the streambed, Forced pieces, That I name too—Autumn Fleet of Bur Oak Leaves. 51
A Garden Man Will Moorfoot As recalled by he who was in mourning. I: Our cottage was one surrounded by wood For he who had died loved the murmur of willows, And having left them just before dawn, We went about the cooling rooms, Opening up the windows and doors To let the pale house feel The warm buzzings of the garden. From a hidden vale no doubt He heard That uncle had died. No doubt He heard From a flower or bird in that secretive vale. For He came from the woods, deep in the woods The Garden Man came from the old misted woods To be in the garden that uncle had loved. Blue and green fluttered about the hydrangeas And while thinking about finality I saw Him Through a thin canopy of vine and rose. One ephemeral glimmer Revealed what could never be known: The long spirit form of the Garden Man. 52
