Two Poems by Zoe Grace Marquedant

tanka for driving through a heatwave

summer and shelter
melt into a neon river
the parking structure awning
cherished and welcome
as this roadside ice cream stand

tanka during storm warnings  
 
move home, a return
a river running backward
inverse of nature
to land marked as “no trespass”
red-eyed radio towers
