Elizabeth Dublin’s most recent poem to appear here was May Day (May 2014).
Biggest Sky
By Elizabeth Dublin
They say it’s in Montana
but the day I stood 2 miles northwest
of Manhattan
the sky exploded above
suffocating trees, dwarfing
the star-bit moon
and I was the smallest
dot of breath and blood, alone
in a pine footprint.
Capturing moments in the immediate world seems to be this lady’s work, and she does it well. This is a beautiful shocker to start the day!
