Yellowthroat

Eileen Elizabeth Waggoner

Honorable Mention, 2021 Marica and Jan Vilcek Prize for Poetry

Some of y’all pray to God
I pray to the yellow warblers
and their frail whistling
on wildfire winds

It’s a shame to be a stranger
to the continent of my body
when I have loved the earth so well
a quiet watcher of things
