she thought she heard his old truck
drive over the hill and park
certain now because her shy, devil cat
growled, slow and low
she turned the light switch
on and off
snatched her cloth bundle of
bread, strips of bacon, boiled eggs, wild plums
covered in new moon darkness, she handed
the bundle to the stranger, standing in the road

Thanks, Dan. I miss seeing stars where I live. Every so often I travel to the countryside to take them all in.

Thanks, Lynn. I do like to write a story poem. And I like to leave it open to imagination. Used to think I’d take my story poems and write short stories of them. We shall see.
