In that moment, I notice the difference between his skin and my waders. Fish live in the nude. Nothing comes between their bodies and the universe. They feel everything. In the case of trout: each bend in the current, every bubble in the whitewater, degrees of temperature as they rise and fall with the change of seasons. Brook trout live in the world. They wear no costumes. We cannot force them into acting. -247- �Butterflies Chad Hanson There are children in Milwaukee who will never see a butterfly take to the air from a perch on the leaf of a cottonwood. They won’t see the parting of the wings—living paper scrolled with colors that match and then coincide. Legs push off, sending the bug with hinges into a pocket of nothingness. Flap. Flap. Lofting through the invisible current of our atmosphere. Flap. Flap. Up to the high reaches of canyon walls. Flap. Flap. If we do not see butterflies then they caimot exist. - 248 - �Roots Chad Hanson On the first night of the hike I sleep under the stars. I haven’t seen a rain cloud in eight hours’ worth of trail. I go to sleep under the dim light of the Milky Way. In a dream, the roots under me send volunteers to the surface. Stalks of manzanita grow around my arms, below my feet, between my legs, and in the crook between my head and neck. The vegetation keeps me warm. The comfort amounts to sinking. I wake up with the sunrise, and I do not know to feel happy or down-hearted. -249- �Verses Scribbled on the Last Page of a 1961 Paperback Introduction to Heidegger’s Metaphysics Chad Hanson Satire is a course at San Francisco State. My Uncle’s Kaiser Helmet. Three jiggers of gin on an August night and somebody’s cold feet in the small of your back. It may be found in the rhythms of the bloody songs that children sing. A Jungian analysis of an old Weekly Reader. You can take comfort in the words of Ruskin: every day 1 become more and more convinced that everyone was always wrong. -250- �Patience of Trees Chad Hanson Despite missing long strips of bark, a Norway pine stands resolute at the edge of an empty campsite. Four and a half feet above the ground, an uncommon force stripped the armor off the tree. Four feet matches the shoulder height of thirteen year old children from Arkansas or New Hampshire or Kansas or Washington. It does not matter where they come from. Folding knives appear in boxes with bows during the holidays. Jackknifes are for cutting and trees are forgiving. -251- � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
