Holding Hands with Poems with Stef Boutelier, April 19, 2024

 

On Being Armed in America
A Fibonacci Poem

Here
minds
crush life
Delirious
with fear of losing–
Don’t drive. Don’t ring. And don’t mistake.

 

Things About You I’ve Memorized

  • your enthusiastic exuberance
  • holding you before we sleep
  • your faith grounded in life
  • your life grounded in faith
  • your turning phrases into rhymes
    and making up songs on the spot
  • your hospitality that goes on and on
  • your work ethic and support
  • your self-deprecating sense of humor
  • your healthy ways rubbing off on me
  • growing old together
  • holding your hand
  • this birthday that belongs to you
