a meal behind

Help us keep on giving.

Sponsored by Workhorse, Lexington Poetry Month is an easy to use platform for poets to publish and share their work in an attractive way. The community is supportive and diverse, commenting and encouraging one another throughout June. Money we raise goes to maintaining the cost of the website and publishing the yearly anthology. Our goals are to provide every poet (~150) a copy of the anthology, lower printing costs, and expand opportunities offered during Lexington Poetry Month, such as featured readings and poetry workshops.

a meal behind

unbound cloth- heavy thatch
smokeless chimneys
make
unrecognizable portraits

beyond the grassless path-
fourteen floorboards
from
a brotherhood of branches.

I appreciate the meter and the way the poem staggers like planks of a floor
