Charlotte Rauner’s poem Maybe It’s Back appeared here in March 2011. Isn’t this poem just perfect in a week that has given us work by 4 teen talents?
Untitled
By Charlotte Rauner
When I’m done
crawling upward
towards the roof
I will be
very off the ground stained
maybe with some sweat
closer to tops of trees
where I’ll swing
sitting on a branch
crowded with
leaves
and the stars
will be closer to my palm
and reaching for the sky
won’t be so mythological.
This is a wonderful addition to May’s collection of young poets! Lovely!
Lovely imagery.
