THE POSSIBLE PLEASURES ~

 


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.
