One Poem by Susan Isla Tepper

 

Crunch in the Night

 

It’s Thursday and you’re fearful

what does Thursday carry

in its small sack

Perhaps some fruit or

cookies that go crunch in the night

 

Nothing really special

anymore in that sack

 

No love letters

or dried flowers

saved from your wedding bouquet

bound with white silk ribbon

— gone to ash
