Amie Zimmerman
​

forgiving a wildfire

a Pietà of fish and fisherman
 
the ethics of consumption before bed
 
sleeping toes
 
platonic desire to shell pecans with your grandmother
 
peering at an airshow minus the inspirational rock & roll
 
flecks of new tattoo
 
thinking it was a pumpkin, but instead a gourd
 
layers of sweat in the old comforter
 
seeing pictures of an addict you used to love
 
water as antecedent
 
water as denouement
 
life with less water
 
broken finger in real life versus movie broken finger
