MARY BONE

CRACKED EGGSHELLS

thrown out the back door

of my kitchen.

potted soil, inside a wire fence

all become compost

for cherry tomatoes and onions.

Green curls pop up, getting ready

to garnish plates that warm

on the stove.

POETRY

A poem can set sail

Arrive at a destination

Inhibit and inhabit

Poetry can form its own

Thoughts and live on

In minds as they are recited.

DUTIFUL WIFE

A lady sat at home-

That dutiful wife-

Doing nothing but her duty,

Looking into mirrors

And her eyes told her

Of her beauty.
