Poems

Christmas at Rose, Oklahoma

December 30, 2011December 30, 2011 ROMPoetry

In old photos, you are grainy

Kelly, Pam, Shaun, 1973 (?)

As the chicken shed wood,

Groovy in the rotting way,

Alive to what will be,

And not decay or was,

Not the illuminated past,

But next and next and next.

–Shaun Perkins
