Kim Rodrigues Poet Ekphrasis

American West In Camouflage

Based on painting by Bev Doolittle: Woodland Encounter

American West in Camouflage

Two Indians* hide, in the birch forest,
         and ride their pintos, hooves pitting the snow.

Conspicuous - red fox in clearing - sights
         quiet stride of hide and seek…trenchant ears

at peak performance in centralized cope
         …sentient sentinel highlights canvas.
