An Invocation – Jeffrey Beam (b. 1953)
From cedar’s green feathers | cedar’s red odor |
From moss’s cool fever | earthworm’s glowing |
From pitch-pine’s field-taking | pitch-pine’s black tarring |
From the heel-worn path | eye-light roaming |
From cornfield’s stalking | bobwhite ascending |
From the cardinal’s scarlet | a royalty before us |
From persimmon & apple | urgent oriole feeding |
From blue-eyed grass in shadow | late summer’s Eden |
From footstep to cow path | mud pool & duck quack |
From goldenrod’s augur | winter gathers |
From ice cracking oak limb | frisson & weeping |
From beech leaf in winter | gold filigree forming |
From rosehip & goldfinch | thorn & bright needle |
From storm clouds gathering | light darting through us |
From April’s spring torrents | creek’s roaring persistence |
From pond over-flowing | swamp’s restraint ending |
From the word unblemished | robust declension |
From honesty in bloom | articulate blue |
From granite to flagstone | columbine freshes |
From cat-paw & wind-blow | soft goes the morning |
From Star of Parnassus | tourmaline greening |
From bluestem | the meadow |
From poplar | the tulip |
From each handshake taken | a prayer advocated |
From beehive | golden coagulate bomb |
From bottomland quiet | no petulant view |
From squash bloom | a shine |
From dog sleep | a rumble |
From peril no thunder | only dwellings to calm |
From muscadine’s favor | copper infusion |
From mountain in snow light | a rabbit’s furred thicket |
From everything under | a thistle be thine |
From garnet & hawkweed | the owl & the red-tail |
From trout ever jumping | the roe of attention |
From pecan & walnut | bread everlasting |
From collard & field green | canny pot liquor |
From bluet & aster | concealment never |
From wild carrot | the umbel of consciousness feeding |
From myself & from strangers | the friend ever trenchant |
From mystery’s bedroom | love’s tortuous wisdom |
From the formless | the formed |
From the void | all-in-all |
From the patient rose blooming | the perilous night |
From dove coo at morning | to midday’s recountal |
From magnolia camellia gardenia | thrall |
From dancing thunder | a ridgepole at last |
From solitude | vibrant fortitude’s castle |
From abundant forgiveness | compassion’s great tact |
From whatever you do or not do | find a meadow |
From the river crossing | an island encountered |
From the spirit descending | a wine glass uplifted |
From evening’s quickening | harmonious rest |
From the secret unfolding | the obvious moment |
From whirring cicada | velvet occasion |
From apple forbidden | knowledge abounding |
From the snake on the path | origin & ending |
From sunlight through trumpet vine | flame in the belly |
From tears’ shivering sorrow | joy reshaping |
From veronica & chickweed | earth warmly responding |
From mountain’s re-greening | eye filled with blue |
