Seven Stories

~~ 1 ~~
ravenous kisses
his fumbling with her buttons
their first love story

~~ 2 ~~

Whoever she is,
she knows how to weave stories
he cannot take off.

~~ 3 ~~

how the guitarist
tells stories with his fingers
skipping on the strings

~~ 4 ~~

rusted wheelbarrow
white chickens dripping with rain
sad barnyard story

~~ 5 ~~

For a good journey,
she stitched a bag of stories
to tell round the fire.

~~ 6 ~~

granite grave marker
date of birth and date of death
story etched in stone

~~ 7 ~~

their old love letters
telling stories about them
to her grandchildren
