Around Midday
Space leans / Against the back of a store-bought sofa-
outside, my toes are ready to take a late-morning coffee lunch… bird whistles clash against the soaring of our Easter polka-dotted memories… with threaded iron and possum lace stitching vines against the exodus of ice-cube harmony in my Mason
jar glass… sweet, sweet cherry balm… Here, rest I in a wanting state, steeped soft
in the muddy water romper of my family’s tradition and KY shale mud.
Time starts / Rest in Peace. A moment of silence for Big Lots.

Aaaahhhhh lovely!
I like the form. Hope you continue to develop it.
Lovely! It’s like two separate poems working in tandem no nicely.
I mean so nicely!
