The world, how
Published in Poem Of The Day
The world, how greenesses
pop up. I'd forgotten. To be
found millions of years later,
mountains of bones ground down.
The tiniest with the largest.
You rise to the top
from the Great Rift
to meet me again.
About this poem
"'The world, how' is an excerpt from a book-length sequence of poems in progress entitled 'The Thin Wall.' The collection is comprised, in part, of disrupted narratives that ride to the page through short lyrics."
-Martha Rhodes
