Poetry Wednesday


Fire Works

The accident was
that the explosives went off
(they were going to go off, so soon)

and everyone saw the same vision
tangerines on a meager table

I was four
on the right side of the lake I
wasn’t ready.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd something not-mine that I love:

The Term
by William Carlos Williams

A rumpled sheet
of brown paper
about the length

and apparent bulk
of a man was
rolling with the

wind slowly over
and over in
the street as

a car drove down
upon it and
crushed it to

the ground. Unlike
a man it rose
again rolling

with the wind over
and over to be as
it was before.
