Poems
Jul 2014
Left it in a coal bin somewhere outside Missouri .
Found a grain of salt masquerading as love cut like a diamond
Twinkling in the midnight ruff of ponderosa sawdust eyes
It danced a fox-trot to coral lips slipping shadow puppet promises
I stole it from them and stashed it in my pocket to keep it safe
When I went to give it back all I found was salt stained lint
Chicago
