Emptying My Pockets After Our Anniversary

garden scrap from dahlia twine
frayed to a lock of greenstraw hair

glints of coinage
from two countries

a yin yang stub of granite
for shaping a saltwater moon

dry crowns of poppy heads
sifting seeds for crimson tissue dreams

an aquamarine marble crusted with continents
luminous to the core

Jennifer Drake-Thornton
