Bough and boulder

Bough and boulder

A Poem by Laura Lynn

Reverberant tunnels in sewers I found as an adolescent;
A
rmful of flowers the florists could carry or violinist;
E
xcavators took toothbrushes to dinosaur bones, dig
L
est undiscovered ancient civilizations remain unknown.
E
xceedingly stupid am I to eat too much salt again.
T
orchbearer, the relay at the Olympics was a height,
M
enagerie of glory, a collection of little glass figurines,
A
nimals I miss when I look back and think of their looks.
T
elling myself there is a brighter tomorrow, I long to see
S
able creatures, sable horses in stables, sable sables, all
O
pen-ended questions of what steps we will take to go,
N
ervy, time not sparing, certain for roads high and low.

BOUGH
A
ssaults of habit and conscience, what is hatching,
N
ested here on this inveterate bough.  Let us not cast
A
spersions on our dearest visions but just progress
F
urrowing our minutes with dear muscles and syllables.

BOULDER
S
witchboards of circuits have taken a different form.
E
xcel is a program now where we can ex out columns.
L
essors hand out leases like popcorn at the movies;
A
nd the rocks cry out at the falls�" paths intersected.
