I am done with love but lust
won’t loosen its hold on me
not when new leaves shake
and gulls ride thermals
calling, and pink flowers
ingest light, fructifying
and bed linen hangs on lines
readying fresh nocturnes
David Zieroth‘s The November Optimist will be published by Gaspereau Press this fall. In 2008 he founded The Alfred Gustav Press, a micro press for publishing poetry.
