RED HERRINGS
—for Sara Menefee
our iPhones
seeking shoals
of lost words
to compose small poems
to compose small poems
catch unschooled fish
inappropriate
placeholders
leading us astray.
12/8
She gathers
purse seine nets
on the city streets
where the homeless
tell her stories
small poems
flashing a silver
currency
of hope
in the gutters
of despair.
