Glitter

 

Mrs. Noman—
her eyes of coal glitter
in the moonlight. /jws

Our city of snow tunnels— /vs
Dad comes through the roof. /jws

We charge across
the schoolyard battlefield—
snowball artillery. /vs

 

Notes 150:


"Glitter" previously appeared in the June 2009 Frogpond.

The Untrue

 

Chink, chink chink—
only the false water drip
of hidden blackbirds. /jws

High alpine meadow— /vs
a horse gallops his shadow. /jws

A half hour passes—
the groom leans and whispers
to the best man. /vs

Droppings

 

Honey sandwich
fumbled... which side
will turn up? /vs


Broken hive, a static of bees— /jws
droppings among bear tracks. /vs

Alcor, Mizar:
cartilage of ursine tail?
or just stars? /jws

 

Notes 156:

 

"Droppings" was first published in the June, 2009 issue of Lynx Journal for Linking Poets.
