“Myth bubbles and squeaks
up through the ground
like mud through a thermal vent
or steam through a geyser –

crawls and leaks through
the vascular system of leaves,
of force of natural poetry
chlorophylling the air.

Analogies grow within and on
the roots and stems of rivers.”

Excerpt of poem by Steven E. Counsell
