2 short prose poems (the song of spring)(the ocean)

The song of spring

(by sheri grutz)

The song a heart made of ribbon made the head go soft against the hard rain

not a hat but a bow when he said it was his gift to carry every day

gives what they can't tie up throwing arms around the world

the sun rising pitched in the sky and the words melt the packed surface

a song dances through trees the lips of pots overflowing

but if his shattered dream was glass he'd learn to pierce his mark



The ocean

(by sheri grutz)


Sand slips through holes in her life in a box a pebble stays in the shoe

finding this shore was any unearth to layers in her mind gone deep

it is the same for miles moving mountains and terrain and planted stars

water collects in her small step moving vastness and energy

a rush of birds or runner or explaining that wind

she is a child pushing off the vessel and drifting away
