Boydstun Posted April 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Yes In the gathers of the world, its clouds, its lakes and hills. In the gathers of the world, its plains, its woods and shades. In the gathers of the world, our fields, our grains and rails. In the gathers of the world, our tombs, our tools and words, this yes, this you, this me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boydstun Posted 18 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Wooden Spool Mother had fashioned of thick thread a harness for the summer locust, thread run through the hole of the empty spool, the locust to pull across the floor, the children to smile. None could know the invisible thread spool-full, the rough unwindings of tomorrows and dreams, tough rewindings, revisions. The older boy to marriage and break and poverty and roughneck and loss of one arm and women lost and wealth won and death by cancer at fifty-four. The younger boy to no woman, no child, to books and pen ablaze, to man life-love, from nineteen, same age, to that man’s death at forty-one. Orbits six more, to new man life-love. The young girl, alone Mother’s own child, to marriage, children, and theirs, to failed health, non-stop pain, and death at sixty-six. That summer, its locusts, that wooden spool a while more in the second boy alone still unwinding the invisible to visible.
