by Peter Makuck
American Poets Continuum Series
In Peter Makuck's Against Distance nature is both a reprieve
and danger. Here, various landscapes: oceans, inlets, rivers,
foothills, deserts: pressure and test human relationships. In
language full of power and surprise, Makuck illuminates nature's
weather and the weather of the human spirit.
Catsail
Out
on the edge
between
ocean and a sky
that
swallows light,
red, yellow, and green,
bright
as a foreign flag,
it
catches the wind
and
something inside
about
color,
the
secret of difference,
how
it changes
what
we are,
makes
us feel
we
could walk out
on
that watery sunpath
into
another country
where,
like children,
we
would do little but
play
with the quiet
and
learn our colors again.
