Poetry Wednesday


(the truth that everyone knows but no one admits)

brother goes cockeyed
nudging tin cans along
a fine bench

hulaHula girl
on a blueberry dash
inhaling the fumes from her grass
skirt

man sitting naked on the rocks
picked up a thing
sharp
with his eyes half-open
asleep

mother has feelings
at the airport gate
(it costs a quarter
to
bag your liquids)

i wear new clothes when I paint
and make them old.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd something not-mine that I love:



Partially because Joshua Beckman is the shit, partially because we email, and partially because he's like my Bob Ross of poetry.
