Readings, Workshops & Lectures. Old Town Poetry Series. A Daffodil Under Close Inspection. Today, under a sudden blue sky, I knelt down. In the grass, dipped my head and saw:. Six slender men wrapped around. A single pistel,. Gold dust on the anthers,. A black sailor drinking new wine,. A fragrance, a hint of green. Inside the yellow cup,. A small, light-eating engine. Trembling in the wind. June 19, 2014. Yellowstone River Livingston, Montana →. On July 9, 2014 at 11:21 pm. On July 10, 2014 at 1:27 pm.

Yellowstone River—Livingston, Montana - Ruelaine Stokes
http://www.ruelainestokes.com/project/yellowstone-river-livingston-montana
Readings, Workshops & Lectures. Old Town Poetry Series. Yellowstone River Livingston, Montana. I have come to arc pebbles into the river. Talk with the cottonwoods. Holding on tight in the wind. In the distance, bruise-colored mountains. Scrape clouds from the sky. Send ropes of water. Down to carve trenches. In the earth’s brown belly. Huddle in small dark pools. Like the mountains, I am perfectly lonely. The cobalt blue surface of the river. The low moan of the wind. June 19, 2014. Café Venezia →.

Café Venezia - Ruelaine Stokes
http://www.ruelainestokes.com/project/cafe-venezia
Readings, Workshops & Lectures. Old Town Poetry Series. We have come to open up the morning. Just like the one in the hands. Of the red-bearded man. Sitting 6 feet in front. Words fly off the page and. The front window glows with light. Across the street a city bus. Crawls toward the intersection. Two women are sitting. Under a white umbrella. Emblazoned with the words San Pellegrino. I think of white beaches in yellow sun,. White cathedral spires in a reddened sky,. Who tried to sell me a blue sweater.
