A Poem A Day

Mom Recalls How Dad Used to Walk for Miles

May 2, 2017 by Every Writer

Mom Recalls How Dad Used to Walk for Miles

by James Croal Jackson

In those wild woods, poison sumac
would distance one from active tracks–
jagged moan, trembling steel, cerulean sky
waiting for your call: an endless horizon,
a warbler singing quietly
into night.
