A Good Quandary
by Amy Wright
Brushed by a smoke fox
of wiregrass
agrime with noon
sun, Boo hums—a sawbuzz
bumblebee, the plait of her
voice two boards crossed
over a barred window
widowed from the road,
high-ceiling chimneys charged with sonar.
Fill this pine-abutted soundscape
with song, or listen?
Under the gutter
cochleae of fiddlehead ferns
await rain.
