THE POSSIBLE PLEASURES by Lynn Valente
$14.99
I save very good poems to read late at night — it’s late at night.”
–Bob Arnold, author of Once In Vermont, Gnomon Press
Woodcutter's Autumn
Geese above
barking like dogs
open the gate
to our dark fence
and let in some thoughts
we put away for good —
of summer, that tourist
who took off fast
in his big car
and never paid taxes.
We'll be paying now —
Who let in these thoughts?
From carrying them home
my arms will ache
all winter.
