under black walnut
an elevensy at Soaring
Gardens, Susquehanna County, PA
the tree’s song
is these arms wide
reaching, ready
to catch whatever falls
the house peels paint behind me
under black walnut
sky’s to leaf, a still blue
as if apprehended
come quiet, told
on from these last
forgotten rains
The elevensy is a form
invented a few years back by Kerri Shying and Kit Kelen… the title is in the
middle of the poem, with five lines either side … so we come to, and away from,
the centre of the poem
