Coming Up River, May 9th

Heidi Klassen, British Columbia, Canada, Age 15

the sun in the evening
as i watch it go down
and the color of the mountains as it shines across town
the sound when the moon rises above all the rest
of the bird in the tree
on branch
or in nest
is like poetry in motion
or the dear sun in the sky
or whatever else makes your dear heart come alive
