Mississippi River: A Ballad By Maria Jimenez Just one push and you are gone with the flow it goes the water drags your body on and it doesn’t even know and once you find yourself inside it’s hard to try and get out you can’t go back, enjoy the ride it’s clear you won’t be found Firewood by Emily Possehl A lift, a toss A breath of cold An earthen smell Thin clouds unfold Frozen fingers Woodchips in eyes Sunlight fading My tired heart sighs Soft chimney smoke Lazy and slow Little red coals Scoff at the snow Page 44
