Poem - Selected Poems - Timothy Russell
By: Timothy Russell
They whirled and flurried from the sky.
They came to me in the middle of the night,

They stuck their tongues in my mouth.
Some slunk along the edge of the river bank
like feral cats. Some ran ahead of me
like those bumpkins in Pamplona.

By: Timothy Russell

or delay that dazzling flash
astonishingly brief on the horizon.

a river or an orchard or a pea pod
Poem - The Collapse of Summer - Timothy Russell
By: Timothy Russell
Trees on the steep hillside
across the river will peak
within the next few days,
and if things follow precedent,
shed their impossible colors
soon after.
