You Are an Arm-Chair
You are an arm-chair inside
a sky high younger driver;
boots go on like black soap.
Smuggle me on the next
flight path to you.
You are a comforter atop
a jump of Arkansas rock;
shoes go on like a sponge.
Wring me out of the latest
switchyard to you.
You are an open campfire in
a dedicated October wind;
sandals go on like iron.
Float me over yesterday’s
series of locks to you.

So much distilled into this poem – it compels me, makes me have many questions.
Love the footwear references in this beauty!
From your poem I’m learning to bring together unlike things. If the “you” in the poem is a person, he or she will be happy in the poem’s knowledge.
I love this line: “You are an open campfire in a dedicated October wind; Good poem, Amy!
I enjoy your form. Unification.
