Double poems today, because this one’s especially for my eerily-talented critique group of yore. This one’s from our own Laura, who is also one of the editors of the book in which the poem appears. The book is An Eyeball in My Garden, (2010), recently out in paperback, appropriate for brave 5th graders to adult, and edited by two amazing women, Laura Wyncoop and Jennifer Cole Judd.

As dangling ghosts untie their strings
To float among the trees
For Sunday, from heredities, the 2010 Walt Whitman winner.
from The Quietest Heaven / by J. Michael Martinez
a blanched nightgown
whispering against tile
And, more silence. And, more here and here:
