I am without noticeable talent in any worthwhile endeavor. But I read with the best of them.

Wednesday Poem: 9.19.12

Ignatz Oasis

 
by Monica Youn

When you have left me
the sky drains of color

like the skin
of a tightening fist.

The sun commences
its gold prowl

batting at tinsel streamers
on the electric fan.

Crouching I hide
in the coolness I stole

from the brass rods 
of your bed.
