"Ish River"--
like breath,
like mist rising from a hillside.
Duwamish, Snohomish, Stillaguamish, Samish,
Skokomish, Skykomish...all the ish rivers.
I live in Ish River country
between two mountain ranges where
many rivers
run down to an inland sea.

nearer to Spring
I heard a bird sing In the dark of December A magical thing And sweet to remember.
'We are nearer to Spring Than we were in September,' I heard a bird sing In the dark of December.
