} i.
a Montana mountain pass
1300 feet below
a little lake
mirrors
the cloudless-blue day
looking west
waves and waves
of peaks
fade
into a distant-blue haze
} ii.
the Minnesota River Valley
an early spring day
new-spring greens shimmer
against a blue sky
the color
of summer water
an Indigo Bunting
on a broken willow branch
sings
into the blue-blue day
