Ohio River Valley Literature, poetry

lot dogs 13 (2)

two days ago the old woman
wanted me know how cold she was
placed two black fingers on my neck said See?

and of course I already knew
/bone cold has a smell/

in return I warned her off
THIS IS NOT A SAFE PLACE

sun bright on a crisp cold morning
is (almost) a friend / grateful /

that first star post
sunset hangs low so low
like that last dream sweet
dream before the morning alarm
