Eight Lines<\/h1>\n

by Lenny DellaRocca<\/p>\n

Three ripe pears in the sun.<\/p>\n

Smell of lavender in the dark.<\/p>\n

Earth upheaved in the wake of a plow.<\/p>\n

A triangle of birds in the sky.<\/p>\n

Children under the spell of puppets.<\/p>\n

Madness in an ordinary home.<\/p>\n

The way history finds its way to your door.<\/p>\n

Women who love girls and fire.<\/p>\n
