Poems from stormerickson
A Jacob’s ladder romance
Not two strings, but one loop.
My heart bangs against yours like a paddleball battleground.
Specks of sea mist...
You spend your whole life somewhere
Only to leave, and to come back
And to find that nobody remembers you.
You’re an opaque ghost filled...
Do you ever feel
As
insignificant
As
a single flea?
You unfasten the buttons on your shirt
loosen the collar
alter the sides
tie the ends into a knot
cuff your sleeves
Do everything you think...
Today I watched a wasp try to carry her egg all the way across the garden bed.
It’s weight dragged her down, so she left the babe
Came atop...
