Consider this untitled poem: What calm in the way the gravedigger unbuttons his coat and the frozen ground below him How it longs to be opened You learn not to wave at the soldier coatless always wandering the roads and fields He’s home now for good says his mother Yes home now for good say the wolves Tommy Archuleta,
What a way to start a cold December morning - a surprise indeed. I don't know how I missed this poet in the 2023 5 over 50.
I don't buy books from the big A - thanks for the link to the publisher,
Thanks for this comment. I'm in a bit of a rush this season -- keep missing things . . .
