found some old creative writing poems…

Hometown Poem #1

First
Unpack boredom and set
All components
Upon life’s sturdy, or unsturdy,
Chopping board.
Carefully assemble as you wish.
Run
Through heavy muck fields-
onions spray the sky with only green
Foliage
Pick one medium onion.
Blade properly in place
between Future A and Future B
slide down slowly
through layer one, two, three…
thick slices burn, woosh, thump
beside, on top of each other
tears trickle down pink cheeks.
Use in Sunday brunch or Monday’s lunch.

Hometown Poem #2

We grew as low-lying pumpkins:
Our green vines asked questions of the soil-
broad leaves touched row after row-
footprints, worms between our roots
and fertilizer, awaiting…

Organic blooms in full sun
We spun, spun, spun
Singing October songs
Deep soaking in early season immaturity
Awaiting…

…harvest
