Plunge to the Poloti – Steve Talbert

Plunge to the Poloti, 2021
Plunge to the Poloti

I was at those Falls
Defining memory-ware
With Glacier polish
Surviving Basalt globules
From tectonic Mantel’s movement
And North South slip joint
Pressure as gradual release
Under repeated Ice Cycles
Glacial clearing-
Leaving the top waterfall
Funneling down into a fierce
Moving sheet of water below
Filling the granite Vernal Pool.
