Day 14, Poet 14: Sarah Nichols

4/15/2017

 
Picture

I Would Open
 
I have nothing
to do with explosions.
 
But there are
enough signs
 
in the no-life of
stars
 
to make
 
evacuation
mandatory.
 
I am as frail
as smoke.
 
a landscape of
gas and shadows.
 
Expansive. A
mystery,
 
unmendable.
 

Previously published in She May Be A Saint by Hermeneutic Chaos Press. 

Sources: Title: C.D. Wright, a phrase from “Dear Prisoner.” Wright: Deepstep Come Shining, “My Dear Affluent Reader,” and “Dear Prisoner.” Sylvia Plath: “Tulips,” “Insomniac,” “Stars Over the Dordogne,” “Widow,” and “The Rival.”
