JOHNMICHAEL SIMON POETRY

Pull

dew covered heads

from needlebeds

of bodymulch

 

Hack

sharp layers

of tight packed skin

from cupped

repose

 

Throw

in cast iron

skillet

blackened

with age

 

Add

crystals

from rock pools

some tender greens

 

Fan

hot coals

until glowing

drown

in brine

 

Yeah man

wild mushroom

soup
