Rusty - A New Postcard Poem

Dear Friends,

 

I have a little poem to share that has recently been published online by HOOT Review. The poem is posted with an image of rust, which gave me the idea to create the silhouette below. I'm sharing the poem here, beside the silhouette, but please also be sure to visit the post at HOOT, where Rusty is posted along with another rust image, a delicious Citrus Solstice poem by Elizabeth Kuelbs, and audio recordings of both poems.

Rusty

 

Please forgive me.
I’m a bit rusty
socially.

It’s been a while
since I spoke out
loud, in person.

I cough up must
and dust, broken
thoughts and rust.

Tonight, I tried to pry
my voice box open
with a screwdriver.

Now I’m too sleepy
for words. I guess
that wasn’t the key.
