Blackberrying
Blackberrying is pocketed chap book that combines a single custom poem in three stanzas interspersed between Butterfly-folded leaves that are pocketed to contain family recipies printed onto torn paper inserts.
Blackberrying (3rd Stanza)
Then bowls and stomachs full,
We rushed at the shin-tearing slide
Back to the path
Where toes and twigs and mud and stones
Combined in once white canvas shoes made old
By summer growth, and summer games.
Our shoes blister-rubbing soft-skinned feet
Until we leapt
From unseen puppies, nipping at our heals
The road, tar sticky in the evening sun,
Led us home to warm baths
And cool kitchen arms.
