God’s stirring

it’s a wild snowstorm, Mary
thick white skies
still hold their bellies overhead
two crows
tweak snow from the highest branches
they hunch and caw
towards
white headed buffalo
























frozen shapes
hunkering
from the lowest branches of juniper,
while gigantic fish
head first plunged into tree
plucked clean by blizzard
leave snow covered bones
drooping

and God stirring
the finest
soup
