Keeper

 

Written by: Adrienne Yeardye, Consciously Woman

 

nesting is dead

 

she packed the car

broke three dishes 

and a star

 

four CDs later

she boarded the ferry

and sailed the lake

into molten darkness

 

cold

silent

mountain gallery

into water deep

 

on the other side

she stepped into the trees

white fur 

into moonlight warm
