A Poem by Harmony Hodges

Words

My words fall off of butterfly wings

                    s

of unique proportions

pile up like shards of ocean glass

Beautiful.

in a jar

in the dusty shed

only to be taken

off the shelf

Roughly.

by a duck hunter

during a drought

driven through muck

and on bumpy coils

then plopped on a stump

Bullseye.

shot at

my words explode

into the atmosphere

Stratospheric.
