with its stem awry . . .
I reread
the scribbled comments
in my high school yearbook
~cattails 3: Sept. 2014
a flailing black snake
entangled
in yards of bird netting . . .
the snarls of my karma
~cattails 3: Sept. 2014
and buy bewilderment—
midnight
finds me rapping
on the pawnshop door
~Bright Stars 6, Fall 2014
(Quotation in lines 1 & 2 is from Rumi)
So good - and enjoyable to read. I can relate to all of these metaphorically. And recently I was looking through a high school yearbook myself - the silly scribbled comments there.
