Relics
By Nettie Farris - Floyds Knob, Indiana, USA - 1 March 2014
I acquired
a few
things
while you
were gone --
a weeping
cedar,
some weeds
in the
backyard,
wild things
from the
woods --
a twig
entwined
with a
vine,
daisies,
lupine,
a carpet
of thick
green moss
heavy
with rain,
an
undetectable
ache
in my heart.
