Poetry

Turn the Page

I slid the worn strap over my shoulder,
pulled a pick from the fretboard,
and tuned half a step down
to take advantage of the sharper chords.

But then all at once I placed my palm
on the taught strings,
realizing silence
might be the most memorable note.

Heal

In the small town I look up at the crescent moon and
the water tower with its painted carousel;
middle earth is where everything grows.
I dreamt of a fluorite necklace.
It found me the next day
at the fair-trade market—
I should buy a bowl of tumbled gems
and sprinkle them in my house
or hold one in my hand while I sleep
or put a crown over my brow
to heal or clear the worry I own.
