Abstract
In the Arms of a Peachleaf Willow off I-55 Collin Callahan (bio) a flittering of rust-bellied birds chirp like smoke alarmslow on battery. From tendrils of shade,I sketch a ribbonsnake unwinding on a stone, as airplane left linesfade like deniminto the darkening sky. A semi lies—jackknifed—in the median of the interstate.The air is thick with diesel. Radio personalities spilllike lukewarm coffeeout of passing car windows. If I listen close,I can almost heara freckle of a man on the shoulder of Exit 13—shakinghis styrofoam cuptambourine. [End Page 52] Collin Callahan Collin Callahan was born in Illinois. His poems have appeared in Blue Earth Review, Denver Quarterly, Hobart, and elsewhere. Collin is currently a PhD student in Creative Writing at Florida State University.
