2007
*
the country stile
hedged the wild flower meadow
where I sit awhile
*
shadows in the sky-

and our hands folded,
he paused in silence
and then roared in imitation
of a wounded, angry dinosaur.
We all laughed at the incongruous “prayer”

By Mark D. Stucky
I laundered my iPhone the other day,
left in a pants pocket bound for washer glory.
