Grief - Jennifer Jerome

Goblin Fruit, Winter 2013
Little owl, sit in my throat like you belong
there, nestled in behind the clavicle. Claws
catch my collarbone, a white branch. I can't
feel you when I run my fingers over the round
skin, something as hard and old as stone. Inside,
bones breakable as twigs, feathers kicking dust.
Back from a week's conference! Apologies for the poetry!hiatus. Please accept these uncharacteristic attacks of blogging instead.
