As if you know the story
of Wallowa Lake
Leviathan first hid in the deep
where her children sleep
She kept them hidden
from the plague
But have you heard the story
of my mother’s fate
She left us in Detroit in the rain
with a pillowcase
Fortune for the paperweight
We followed her to Joseph
near the Indian raid
She wept among the weeds
hide and seek
for the fallen chief
Spathiphyllum on his grave
And like the cedar waxwing
she was drunk all day
We put her in the sheet
little wreath candles on the crate
As the monster showed its face
As she waits for her
children in the shade
Demogorgon or demigod
the ghost parade
No oblation will bring
her back to our place

She stayed within the deep
end of Wallowa Lake
The undertow refrained
with the flame
of a feathered snake
Charybdis in its shallow grave
She gave us one last feature
the fullness of her face
In the shade of
Hin-mah-too-yah
Red Napoleon
As the demon took her place
As we wait for the waters to reside
Her remarkable
stoicism and her pride
When the dragon submerged
we knew she had died
