I made soup tonight, with cabbage, chard / and thyme picked outside our back door.

The Figure

You sit at a window and listen to your father / crossing the dark grasses of the fields

In the cool morning, bright-hot now from his bath, / my child’s child leans into my lap

by Emily Bornstein
Don’t tell me there isn’t something pretty about you / (don’t tell me you don’t know it).

by Lynn McGee
I cradle him, big kid curled like an infant, water rocking, / chlorine staunching his vivid knees, belly swollen, / legs blue.

Upper Peninsula

by Andrew Hemmert
If the places you go become you, / you must account for the drive-through / liquor store housed in the old carwash.
