Near Miss

sunday morning & the
world is sparkling new
washed clean by sheets
of driven rain blown
off storms that
never came

sheared off where
the mississippi crooks
the face of america
across the trail
cut by lewis & clark

along the missouri
waking spirits of
charbonneau & sakakawea
the ghost
of sgt. floyd

rotting
on a bluff
for near
200 years

as life
goes screaming
