SHORT POEMS
by Michael Prihoda
cry
maybe
tonight
through
an effort
of the will
we can
cry each
other clean
trunks
maybe,
before lightning,
trees were
only trunks
growing
forever
endless
rain jackets
—wet—
purpose served,
no tactics
in the sky’s
offensive,
endless
feeling
but then
it’s over
voices
some days
I need
certain
voices
on the line
to keep
from seeing
each
tree
as a
possibility
impressions
when we
are four
impressions,
feet ghosted
on damp soil,
still I will live
in those footsteps
we shared,
moving far past
this motion’s end
