\nBy the electric light of a prairie spring’s
\nSharp sunset casts a glow
\nOn the towers downtown.<\/p>\n
\nA small truck carrying a small boat
\nBolts over the Louise Bridge
\nTakes a hard right on Memorial Drive
\nAnd stops by the new sculpture
\nFull of quotes about war and loss.<\/p>\n
\nMy companion says and I peer into
\nWhat little I can see of the churning
\nWaters below, wondering for a moment
\nHow anyone could find anything as
\nHumble as a body in that flow.<\/p>\n
\nAnd the clouds clasp together to cloak
\nThe twilight’s fading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
