Maggie Devers

A stack of celluloid prints strewn in the street

Slowly coming undone
The top naked woman in an earthen room with a skylight
The roundness she mimics with her hands
And again with her breasts
In black and white
How tasteful it all was until she found her way to the street
Recently, since there were no tire marks
And I had to consider if it was intentional or chance that she was there
A careless photographer?
Or jilted lover exiting the contents from their home?
I took her with me
I wonder if she’ll be missed

Submissions are open. If you have a poem you want me to read on the podcast, now’s the time.

I’m looking for the one that lights you up. The one you’re proud of. The one you can’t read without crying. The one that makes you feel something big.

Let’s make space for the one this Fall on One Poem Only.

Deadline is Thursday, July 31.
