the boy does
tricks the woman
stands watching
the sand is
too foot-stepped
to notice the
camera makes
them all
silhouettes watching
the sand
is everywhere
playing tricks
This poem is a companion piece to the one I published on Tupelo Press’ website today for the August 30/30 Project. You can read the other poem (a villanelle) here:
Guess who finally got some little books of William Carlos Williams‘ poetry? So, YES: this little poem of mine is a direct response to reading his work, and my attempt to play with words in a similar style. My local library doesn’t have anything by him (either that or it’s always checked out) so I decided I would just add to my own library instead. Any fellow bibliophiles out there?
BOOKS I LOVE BOOKS I LOVE BOOKS
And speaking of books, and poetry: I am THRILLED to announce that, thanks to an artist friend’s donation, I’ve met my fundraising goal! I’m so happy to be able to raise money for the press, and so grateful for my friends’ generosity in helping me! You can still throw in, tho, for as long as the page is active on the website – which means you can still get a copy of the poetry / photography zine I’ll be making once this month is over.
Thank you for being here, readers!
